Digital_Terror Posted August 14, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 what about the Enlight ATX 300W P4 Power Supply EN-8304946A for $24? Its says P4 in title, but in Specifications, It does not say Pentium 4 Ready. any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgolfman Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 Never used anything below 340W. I've never had any trouble with Enlight. They are inexpensive, but built with quality. It depends on what you are going to be putting in the system. Don't settle for anything less than 30A on the 3.3v rail and 35A on the 5v rail.

Rbreb13 Posted August 14, 2003 Report Share Posted August 14, 2003 What he said. I use Antec myself. As for cheap that's where you take your chances. Spend $50-$75 Now or $20 several times and maybe other computer parts that the cheap PSU takes with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC-HAngover Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 I would recommend a ThermalTake 480 watt Purepower psu. I bought mine for a little under $70. I wouldn't skimp on a PSU. If you can afford it, otherwise go with a Fortron/Source PSU. I heard that they are pretty good and cheap. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[COD]1HellUVAShot Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 Think Antec!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBowy Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 I _really_ like the Antec power supplies. I picked up a 350W Antec @ Newegg last week for about $50.00 and it's working great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruceleeon Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 called me old fashioned, but i still like enermax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC-HAngover Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 For me it is either - ThermalTake, Antec, or Enermax. Those are the only power supplies that I would put inside my comps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PC-HAngover Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 I don't like the Vantec "STEALTH" series because its not stealthy. They mislabel their products. But besides that I heard the quality is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
