I need Help deciding a PSU

[mjkim]

Hey guys, I need some recomendations in deciding which psu to buy. I have 5 harddrives setup on a raid, and i've been having problems with it, so i need a good solid psu... with enough power, but not too much, and not too loud. more recomentaions the better~ thanks guys~

We need a price range... but Pretty much the best PSU's avi. are the PC Power and Cooling ones, pretty much any of their 510 Watt or higher models would work for you but be prepared to spend around $200.

I like PCP&C but you said "not too much and not too loud."

Haha.. 2 80mms vs the 1 120mm on the Antec... Lab tests have shown that 2 80mm fans are not more effective than 1. Look at PCP&C's derating curve pdf for the 510w SLi.

i am willing to spend up to $300... but i would rather not if i can find a comparable one for a cheaper price if u know what i mean...

 

[macewank]

$300 would give you one hell of a PSU.. seriously
