I am looking for a new PSU for my 64 rig that I am working on right now. Anyone know a good one to buy (TT, Antec, etc.). I was looking at the TT Silent Purepower 560W for 120 bucks at SVC. Anyone know if this is any good. One question I do have about it is, do I have to use those fan controllers for it or can I just not use them and let it run at full speed all the time? All I want is the PS and not all the extra stuff that comes with it. I also plan on sleeving the whole thing red along with a red uv changeover kit. Think this one is worth it or should I go for something else?
My rig will be:
A64 3400+/Undecided on Mobo right now
Mushkin Lvl II Black 1gig
9800 Pro / May a x800 if the price comes down some
5 80mm case fans + 1 120mm Blowhole
2 Vantec nexus fan ctrl's (3.5)
1 Nexus NXP 101 Fan and temp moniter
SB Audigy 2 ZS Plat (Internal Drive)
92mm Tornado for HS fan
1 DVD RW
4 ccfl's (2uv+2red)
Red EL Wire
2 Raptors
And some other stuff I can't think of right now.

I have a TT silent purepower 480, it's great power wise but I wish I'd done a bit more research before I bought it. It is very quiet on low speed but high speed sounds like a 747 winding up!
If you want the best - PC power and cooling 510 - This PS is sweet. It comes pre-sleeved, it's extremely stable and I think that they now have it in a fanless model!!
Midrange I would go for an antec truepower or a vantec stealth.
If you do want a TT PS, I got my 480 from bluecano on ebay last year for $78CAD, I think now she has them, (and 560W) for 50 - 90US. Might be worthwhile to check out!

I just got an Enermax Noisetaker 475 for my new
project. It is actually very quiet, unlike the "whisper" series Enermax PSU's. It is the most highly recommended PSU on SilentPCReview.com (
review).
[edit: I also have an Antec True 480--it's done well too and was more affordable]

I think I like the enermax more than the TT. I hate the color because I'm going with an all red/red uv theme. Oh well thats what paint and sandpaper are for. Thx for the advice.
