Greetings,
The power supply in my main box gave up the ghost recently. It was an
Antec SP-450, and I only now discovered that that particular unit was
not an especially smart purchase (though mine lasted much longer than
many others). The repair guys installed a cheap (and loud!) placeholder
for me until I replace it with something better.
I'd like to get another PSU in the 450-500 watt range, something at
least as quiet as the Antec, in the US$50-$100 price range. I have
experience only with Antec's quiet supplies and would like to know if
there's another recommended brand. Any suggestions ? TIA!
Apart from Antec, I've heard a lot of good things about Seasonic power
supplies, particularly in regard to noise. One very handy resource if
you've not used it before is the Silent PC Review website -- the guys
there not only review a lot of different components with an ear to their
noise output, but they also maintain recommended component lists that
are updated regularly. Here's their recommended PSUs page:

Thanks
