"Green" PSU

[phenix29152]

Hi all,

I am getting back into the whole hardware side of computers and need your help in picking out a decent, super stable, PSU. I remember 3-4 years ago, it was like, who ever had the highest watts was the best. But now after you think about it, the extra wattage is worth nothing / might just jack up electricity cost.

RIG:
AMD Opteron 165 1.8 .. OC maybe 2.5
HIS IceQ x850xt
2 x Very fast hard drives (Raptors? ... have not decided yet)
Corsair 2 GB Ram
4 x 120 mm Fan
Antec Three Hundred Case
DvD+RW
Thermal Take CPU Cooler

I need something that is a decent price and super stable basically. Dont really want to go overboard on the wattage thing.

THANKS

I used to run a similar rig on a 350watt FSP with no issue, so a 380watt Earthwatts would be more than capable of the job.

The 400CX is the far better buy than the Silencer 500W. The 400CX has 30A on the +12V rail, the Antec EA380 has 27A on the +12V rail and the Silencer 500 only has 35A on the +12V rail.

The EA380 is a good choice.
