I'm pretty new to building custom systems. About eight months ago a friend and I built me a new rig. It was a lot of fun getting everything setup. I was proud of my PC and took good care of it. About a week ago it wouldn't start. I'm pretty sure that it's my power supply.
I bought an Antec Sonata II Tower which came with a "specially designed low-noise SmartPower 2.0 450W ATX12V v2.01 power supply." Turns out it was a piece of crap.
My not sure which companies are reputable, so I'd like some feedback on who makes reliable products. I've been looking at getting a Coolermaster iGreen 500W Power Supply.
Is Antec typically a reliable company? And does anyone use Coolmaster products, if so how would you rate them?
