the problem with this links is they keep reviewing the one with PFC... which this one doesnt have, right?

Another thing is that no one has mentioned anything about warranty yet.

People say Thermaltake products are "dangerous".
Here's one thread about that:

Now as for Fortron vs. Antec, Fortron is great, is $32 & can be compared to other company's 440W+ PSUs and is not that loud. Antec is a little quieter but is $50.

You should also consider how power hungry your system is. Post in a different forum for further details.

I think your first link may be messed up.

I already did that, and found that a 350W antec will be plenty. However I was just wondering if the antec 350W going to stack up to the thermaltake 420 w in real power output.

Post that very question you know where then post the answer here.
I don't think Antec underrates its PSUs like Fortron does but the brand is one of the best.

Has anyone tried to open this PSU up to see how the internals look like? Does it have pots?

 

[Johnbear007]

People seem to think that either supply hsould be just fine.

I needed to boost my mains voltage, so I opened up my meter to see if it had pots. It didn't.

 

[Johnbear007]

I just decided to forget it and go with the Antec 1080 AMG since it comes with a 430 Watt Truepower.

 

[c627627]

Oh yeah, how much did you pay for it?

135$ shipped

It wasn't exactly a "deal" but I was tired of trying to find staples coupons, and non ever worked. I got so burnt out on the process of trying to figure out what I wanted I just went to newegg and ordered the 1080, because I know its a quliaty case and PSU. No guesswork

On a side note I thought about picking it up in town. Compusa had it for 223$
