Ok guys,

I'm planning to purchase, have purchased the following:

A64 3200 939
Abit 3rd Eye 939 VIA K8T800 Pro
2x Delta 120cm fans
TT UFO (for Swiftech heatsink)
2x512 Crucial Ballistix
Radeon X800XT AGP
2x80GB Seagate Sata NCQ drive
160 GB WDC IDE
Lite-on DVD
Pioneera 108A DVD-+RW
Sony Floppy
Terratec Fire 24/96 (later)

Plan to do overclock the proc and maybe GPU on air.
All in a Lian Li v1000/v1200

Have used the calculator stickied - must admit I was a bit a lost, but it was helpful. Read (tried to) through the other FAQS as well

Basically I've narrowed it down to the Antec NeoPower 480, Tagan 480W (TG480-W01) and the Enermax 470 Noisetaker (EG475P-VE-SFMA). I think this may be overkill, due to my results on the calculator (300ish) so should I firstly go for something smaller? If not, what would the deciding factor be between these three? Any specific gotchas or must-haves for them? Was looking at Topower but they don't fit in the case. BTW I live in Australia so some other brands are not readily available. Should I just go with the cheapest out of the three?
 
thats pretty funny considering Tagans are Topowers :p

both the Noisetaker and Neopower are ATX12V v2.0 supplies
so Id say eliminate the tagan as its a v1.3

the Neopower has the tighter load regulation at 3%
