Anyone have experience with these PSUs?

::ASPIRE TURBO 500W::

Has anyone had experience with any of the above power supplies? I really like the MGE VIGORs because they are FULLY sleeved..but am worried about the 3.3V rails. Is 15A for the 3.3 sufficient enough? Curious because the other two have a much higher same rail...

Other suggestions for a PSU that has BLUE LEDs and SLEEVING, preferrably FULLY SLEEVED (what can I say..I'm an aesthetics fanatic :D ) would also be appreciated.


BTW..here are my PCs specs, so you know what machine the PSU will be powering:
AMD ATHLON 64 3200+
ASUS K8V SE DELUXE
1GB (2X512) KINGSTON HYPERX PC4000
HERCULES 9800 PRO 128MB
SOUNDBLASTER AUDIGY 2 ZS
MAXTOR 160GB 7200RPM 8MB HDD
LITE-ON 52X CD-ROM DRIVE
LITE-ON 16X DVD-ROM DRIVE
SONY DRU 510UL (EXTERNAL) DVD BURNER
FLOPPY DRIVE
FIVE (5) CASE FANS

Oh yeah..I'm currently using the stock 420W psu that came with my Raidmax Scorpio 868 case. Works great..but looking for an upgrade...
 
RAM is the major item that draws 3.3v power; Also expansion cards and eventually SATA drives will.

Until I see a quality under-the-hood review of those supplies, i'd consider them generic until proven otherwise.
