Hi

I got some POS 350W PSU that came with my System, and using a one of those Power calculators worked out that I am currently using 349W

And thats not including any eXTernal devices.

What PSU for £50-70 would you guys recomend??

and a reason why aswell plz


Thanks !

^^ Thats from newegg and its around 92$ so its about 70 pounds.

Doing a forum search will give you the answers you seek. You'll see names like Antec, Fortron, OCZ and PC Power and Cooling as making the best PSUs and several recommendations as to why they are good.

I love my AeroCool Aeropower psu.

I love my Enermax. I have the PFC version of this: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-103-446&depa=0 ( they didn't have the PFC version on there )

Thanks for the replies guys

There any cheap PSU with Fully Braided Cables?

btw...I dont need SATA or any special sorta plugs on it, just standard

They dont need to be long either...I got mATX

don't forget about zippy, and enermax

fortron is probably your best bet for a good powersupply thats cheap though

I got the Antec Trupower 430w, for like 80-90 (not sur oen price) from staples, it is kickass, not sure on braiding, but the motherboard connector comes sleeved and is compatable with sata( comes with 2 sata connectors). If your running neon lights and other useless lights/ add-ons, this thing is good. My next psu however might be the trupower480 or better. Also this thing got another fan to help it keep cool and quite. I love Antec, they make good fans and good psu. Its also the best psu u can get @ retail if ur not gonna buy it online.

Edit: well i dunno how much it would cost in pounds i think, but in the dollor currency is basically cheap. Good quality for a low cost either way.

Tagan 480

i'd recommend AGAINST getting a Mercury or Q-Tec since loads of customers have come back saying they blew up or blew up their whole computer...

I am not totally familiar with what you have availale in the UK, but I would recommend either the above mentioned Tagan 480 or a Fortron (aka Sparkle aka FSP group) 550watt PSU. The Antec PSU's are pretty good as well.

Think I might go with a Tagan, there pretty cheap, and if you guys say there alright too, then thats good

However...none of those PSUs mention anything bout braded Cables...so I assume they dont hav it?

Shame....

One last Question...

I hav a Micro ATX Mobo + Case I belive, do I need a specail PSU?

Or will a normal PSU fit?

Thanks guys!

I think you need a special diddly PSU if it's one of those tiny cases..

Otherwise... I have this: http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.a...=6712&GroupID=9

I like it!! Didn't realise you were in the UK That's the PFC version of the one I linked to earlier!

Whats the standrd PSU dimensions?

So I can measure insinde my Case, and see if the Standard fits

Thanks for the Suggestions guys!

Think I may go with the Antec True Blue.

I like the LEDs, and seems like good PSU!

Only wish it had braided cables...

'tis a good PSU. The only thing I don't like about Antecs are the big power cables are .. on the wrong side!! If you look at the cables straight on they're on the left side instead of the right. Annoying when you have a window and want it to look neat, as the power cables are then right next to the window side.

hmmmm, ok measured my current PSU, and its:

about 3.5" x 5.5" x 6.5"

would THIS PSU fit?

There any site where theres the eXact dimmensions of this PSU?

Then that falls under the 'normal PSU' category.



Any "normal" PSU will fit You can get the Antec if you wanted that.

Kool!

ill probs order one tonight
