I decided to go with the Antec P180 case which i got for $134 (free shipping) off of eWiz.com. It doesn't have an included power supply. This is another area where me knowledge is less than 0. What is standard and where should i get it from?

Although I'm generally an Antec PSU fan, I really like this Enerrmax Noistaker PSU and it's on sale at Newegg for a very nice price: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817103459

I installed one of these in my main rig when my old Antec 430 PSU started killing SATA drives, and I also installed one in my new Athlon64 LAN party rig. Nice solid PSU, very quiet, and it's got dual 12 volt rails which is becoming the standard for stability in gaming rigs.

Posted: **Fri Aug 19, 2005 5:54 pm**

which models are you considering of each?

Posted: **Fri Aug 19, 2005 11:46 pm**

so far, taht enermax. but like i said, i dont know much about power supplies so i am pretty much going on your advice. although i have heard more good things about antec.

What do you guys think of the Antec Neopower series? I have read good things about it.

Anything Antec is pretty much a guranteed good product. I haven't ran into too many bad Antec cases and/or power supplies.

There's an Enermax Noisetaker 485 watt now for $89 shipped at Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817103457

And the good reliable Antec TruePowerII 550 for $105 shipped:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817103931

You can't go wrong with either of these.

alright, lets narrow it down to these 3:

Antex NeoPower 480
Noistaker 485
Truepower II 550

Which would you buy? The Neopower is the best reviewed one I have seen and I found it for $100 with free shipping.

The Antex has a reputation for being a bit noisier.

Posted: **Mon Aug 22, 2005 8:37 am**

which one? truepower, neopwer, or both?

Posted: **Mon Aug 22, 2005 9:29 pm**

Antex Neopower

Modular Cables are great.. You only use what you need so there is less cable clutter and better air flow..
