    I'm in the market for new Power Supply.
    Just woundering what eveyone is using especialy those who have "Power Hungry PC's"??

    Looking for some more info related to, PSU that have dual 12v rails vs those who dont, Is it better to just have one rail?
    I read info that claims each is better.
    (Ive also seen a couple of psu that have adjustable rails)

    I have several PC's a couple I use Antec's & a couple use generic.
    I'm currently buiding new rig (A toaster if ya will) going to do some serious OCing.
    This rig I'm doing lot of modding too, it has large window where the PSU will be in full view, so I'm also looking for one that has good appearance beside needing good stable voltages.
    Probably looking for nice high quality black finish, this rig has lot's of Black & will have UV lighting/green. (need's to be probably 450W or more)
    I'd like to keep the cost under $100 (less cost = best)
    I'm not apposed to Painting or modding a new PSU any good recommended PSU in the $50 range?

    Ultra has a couple that fit's my appearince needs, just woundering about the Quality of the Juice?

    I was going to reccomend the Antec Neopower 480w till I saw your price range.

    I wouldn'tbe looking at a quality psu in the $50 range. IMO that is not enough to pay for a PSU. Remember, the PSU has the capability of frying every component in your pc in a heartbeat. Spend $100 on a GOOD one. I've heard excellent things about OCZ power supplies. Supposed to be the most stable on the 12 V rail on the market today.

    I was actually looking at one of those MWAVE has for $112 shipped.
    It's one of my top choices.
    I usually start out trying to save money, then I get what I want.

    Thanks for your imput.
