Ok, Im in the process of building a new system, and I want to get the right PSU for it... but there are some problems...
-I'd like for it to be black(to match black case, but white is fine I guess)
-I dont want to spend over I'd say around 80.00.
-I dont want a PSU that has a atx power cable thats 4foot long(you get what im saying)
-and last, its gotta be stable and reliable. also quite is a issue but not a big one, allthough I dont want it to sound like a jet.

so let me hear what you guys have to say. I've looked at the Vantec Stealth series and Raid Max(give me your views on these)

thanks

why dont you just paint the ps that way you can put a good paint job on it and give it a mirror finish. i say go with a good antec ps

my antec true power r0xx0rz.. its a 550watt.. I payed 103. bucks for it.. you dont need to get one as powerful so it would be cheaper

in the infamous words of one ProCooling.com Forum member:

"Basically, if you want a mini-nuclear power plant, the Enermax 651 is the powersupply for you"

...i couldnt agree more. Since that is 200% of what youd like to spend, however, i would just suggest the best Enermax you can afford with that, out of all the sparkle/vantec/antec/enermax on my stability testing, the enermax beat the crap out of the competition, with only the antec managing to not restart (vantec/sparkle-no go, antec-start with instable voltages, enermax-VERY steady for the ammount of power it was kicking out. tests were done with every fan i could possibly muster up hooked up to all the power connectors, a video camera was kept on a digidoc voltage monitor, computer was started, voltages monitored through start up and game playing)
