Hi I need 2 power supplies and want some opinions on a few potential power supples.

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=9028&vpn=W0009R&manufacture=THERMALTAKE
Thermaltake 420 watt for $60 CDN

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=13570#topic
enermax 350w $62 CDN

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=14063&vpn=FSP350-60PN-1&manufacture=FSP GROUP USA
Fortron 350w $50 CDN

sparkle 350w $55 CDN

I'm leaning towards the thermaltake right now since its 70 watts more than the others. I really don't want to spend too much on the two power supplies. I'll be purchaseing other things from ncix anyway so I'd rather purchase the powersupplies there too but am willing to purchase the power supplies somewhere else if you have good suggestions. I would however ratther they be from canadian retailers if posible. Don't go suggesting newegg, They dont ship to canada.
 
The two Fortron/Sparkle units are identical... this model has been tested up to 412w in the past, and that will be my recommendation. Thermaltake/Sirtec is nowhere near them in build quality I'm afraid. Second choice would be the Enermax units for me.

You can find more Sparkle/Fortron selection in Canada at www.vibecomputers.com, www.acctech.ca, www.hltechnology.com, and www.razorcomputers.net (my favorite - where I got my 530w beast from).

Hard to beat NCIX service though... I can only attest to Razor's awesome service. Never tried the other places.

Edit - wow, NCIX pulled a fast one on me and added a whole lot more Fortron... I am very happy about that. Even the AX500-A is there :D
