Power Supply...

Well, bonez and i seem to disagree on power supply types.

I personally think the power supply is one of the most important purchases in a case. as it does keep everything running smooth.
Of course i overclock.

I was curious, what kind of power supply do other people here use?

I just bought the SinTek 600w modular with knob adjustable pci-e and memory rails.

Antec TruePower 430. I don't need all that fancy over-hyped stuff. Just give me a PSU that has stable rails and I'm happy. Antec has never let me down.

and you use the 20-24 pin adaptor?

Antec 430Watt. Believe it is a 24 pin connector. I wouldn't say it is that important.

I mean if you have an Antec 430 Watt with a P3 1.0 Ghz, 256 RAM, Geforce 4 Ti vs. P4 3.4 2 gig RAM, Geforce 7800GTX, well I don't think the quality or size of the power supply matters in performance. If I was to use 5 different power supplies, system performance is the same. It is important however to get a good one though, but Processor, RAM, and Graphic's card are the most important if you ask me.

@ Horsepower: I wish Antec Cases were lighter, but they have good power supplies and lots of room.

i dont mind the weight at all. i don't move it often. i could literally jump up and down on this case and it wouldn't affect it.

I have the same exact PS as Horse.
