Easy way ta blow $1,500 , that's crazy. And for a PSU, you probably don't need a $70 one, so here's 2 that are a bit cheaper yet still quality PSU's from what I know.. HIPRO 500w ePower ZU 500w

MrWicked1968 Drunk Mouse Syndrome Posts: 8752 Joined: 08/22/2004	I like the Hipro too. but there's something about that masscool/sytrin psu that has really caught my eye. johnnyguru loved it for it's efficiency, active pfc, and solid, stable voltages. I chose the lian li case because it's all aluminum and it comes with 2 120mm fans. but, I'd also recommend coolermaster cavalier 3 chen ming 601 ------------------------- Rig 1: AM2 X2 4850e--MSI K9N Neo V3--2x1gb Mushkin DDR2 800--Sapphire HD4830--Corsair VX450--Acer H213H-Win XP Rig 2:Athlon X2 7850 Kuma--Biostar 780L--2x1gb Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800--Asus Formula HD4770--Corsair VX450--LG Flatron W2252TQ-Win 7 32-bit Premium Capitalism rocks!
