In addition to the components listed in my sig, I also have one DVD-RW drive, one BR/HD-DVD combo drive and five 120mm fans.

All of these are running on NeoHE 550, but I've noticed recently that 5V and 12V rails degrading to 4.92V and 11.93V. I think my system needs a better PSU. What do you guys think? What do you recommend? I'll need a PSU with long 8 pin connector for P182 case which has PSU compartment at the bottom of the case.

I don't want to spend too much $$, either.
 
What were the voltage reading before? Also, what do you use to check those voltages?
 
They used to be slightly above 5V and 12V, and the readings are from Everest Ultimate through mobo sensor.
 
I would get a newer PS to replace that Antec 550 if that is the case. I would get something like a Corsair HX620 modular with 50A on the +12v
 
You are well within spec on the voltages. IIRC, the NeoHE's are made by Seasonic.

Also, a valtagemeter would be much more accurate than Everest. ;)
