PSU blown up right in front of me... help

There are no user-replaceable fuses in your Antec power supply (PSU). We don't put fuses in our power supplies because the designs are more advanced than that. Anything that goes wrong that a user could fix with a fuse can be handled by the power supply without any tinkering. Antec builds in a...

ANTEC Replacement Side Panels

It's not the correct color, but it's the right panel and it has the up-to-date air intakes for hotter CPUs. http://www.antec.com/Detail.bok?no=376 Hope that does it for you.

Advice on new build...

Your EA-500 PSU that comes included with the Sonata III case will handle that system easily. You'll notice it's also lightweight. It use to be that you should buy a PSU by the pound. Now, modern components and efficient designs mean that the heat sinks don't have to be as big and the fan can be...

Advice on new AGP card

You can do an inventory of the equipment you are using on a Watt calculator like the one at http://www.extreme.outervision.com/powercalc.jsp and get an estimate of your power consumption. Then you can do another calculation where you select the equipment you plan to use and find out how much...

New PSU for Q6600 and GTX

I'm not allowed to give out advice on things that void the warranty. Sorry. I can assure you, however, that as long as the voltage is stable (and the TruePower's are the tightest supply we make) that your current needs are being met. If a PSU can't provide the Amps you need, the Voltages...

New PSU for Q6600 and GTX

When we made the EarthWatts and TruePower Quattro lines, all of them were designed to pass the tough 80PLUS certification. You can check http://www.80plus.org/manu/psu/manu_psu.htm to see what PSUs are 80PLUS certified. That'll save you money over time, and it's also an indicator of quality...

do i just have bad luck?

For the tons of PSU that we sell, our failure rate is low. Still that means that failures can happen. From what you have in your post, I'm guessing your machine pulls 300+/? Watts. That PSU should handle it for years. If you have something like a water cooler, I could be wrong. You can do...

Antec P180 & P180B $79.99 AR @ Frys.com

To answer the version 1.1 vs 1.0 debate: All P180Bs are version 1.1, so you don't have to worry there. For the silver model, the v1.1 comes without the air duct inside, and says v1.1 on the barcode. If you have physical access to the box itself you can verify this. If ordering online it...

NEW ANTEC CASE

To install/remove the HDs you'll have to remove both side panels, remove 8 thumbscrews that secure the HD cage to the case. Slide the cage forward (you'd want to detach any cables) and you have access to the drives.

ARGH! Didnt know the P180 had no power supply!

SP-500 should be ok in the P180 with most motherboards. Other SP's are doubtful.

Antec Sonata;power supply Q's

Sonata never shipped with NeoHE. You're thinking of the P150, which mostly had issues with Asus boards (two families) for sure. AFAIK we've never been able to confirm continued issues with any other manufacturers. That problem has long since been fixed.

noisy antec power supply

Sounds like you should RMA it. http://www.antec.com/us/supportRMA.html Most likely they'll replace it with a TP2-380, which is ATX12V v2.0 which could be an issue with older boards. I suggest letting them know (if you know) whether or not your motherboard is ATX1.3 or ATX12v 2.0 or later...
