NeoHE 550 is a great PSU - as far as I know, its made by Seasonic. I picked it up for $69 on the last deal about a month ago and I've had no problems whatsoever. Eventhough its only an 80mm fan, its pretty much DEAD silent. Modular cables are a plus.
this psu wouldn't be my first choice. without meaning to discredit this guy... he only gives you his experience, which is
absolutely useless. and so what that seasonic makes them?!
believe your research and the reviews. i used 18 neoHE 550's on client builds and have had to replace 6 of them. unacceptable. just yesterday, 2 have become loud. it's silent to start... until your system one day pushes its cooling threshold. get the tp-ii or trio. i use them to power 25 clients and servers, going 6-12months now, not a
single problem. fyi, i use asus and msi mb's.
as for this case...
thanks OP, perfect for the holidays. i know a few people thought this won't get cheaper if we waited a bit longer. fools *

on the corsairs... my 2 nephews (gamers) use those exact models. i believe ~4 months now -- no problems powering their fx55's, x1900 xt, 2gb, 2x raptors, front panels, external boxes galore, plus water cooling and cathode goodies.
