Since my cheap aspire 500w just fried my old motherboard, i'm just looking to get a new psu for the spare parts that i have left over since i'll be doing some upgrading. The parts that'll I have in this rig are

Amd Athlon XP 2800+
Thermaltake Volcano 11+
Seagate 120 IDE 8Mb 7200RPM
LG 32x10x40x CD-RW
Some Generic CD-Rom
6 Aspire Blue LED Fans
Geforce 4 Ti-4200
MSI KT6-V
Generic Floppy
Roxio Firewire PCI Card

Now will a Antec True380 be enough for all of this, or will I have to get something else with a little more juice. If so, what do you guys recommend in the 50/60 price range?
 
deffinatley plenty
my TruePower380 is running something very similar.
AXP M @2.2 \ 1.65V
9600 Pro
pair of optical drives and a pair of hard drives.
plenty of fans and 4 CCFTs,

and it's rock solid.

Can't lose with Antec

I actually had an Antec TP 550 go to hell and take my motherboard with it. I think mine was made on a friday or saturday by a drunk asian.

So just because you have luck with a product does not mean everybody is going to. I particularly did not think the Antec was manufactured very well and got too hot. Enermax is the way to go unless you buy a PcP&C.
 
everyone i know thinks of antec power supplies of having very stable voltages and are long lasting. Also, you get a great 3 year warranty on defects and stuff like that. So if it breaks, (which it won't) you have some insurance for a new one.

Actually you never know what is going to happen with brand new hardware. I know a couple of people that have had brand new Antecs out of the box that are dead. Not to mention mine had a manufacturing flaw and got too hot and fried out taking my motherboard with it. Like I said before IMO Enermax is a better quality product.
 
nm about the fortron 350, the blue led fan and cheaper price was pretty enticing, but just went ahead and ordered the True380.
