I've heard of Quality Control issues with the Antec 550 (loss of reliability), so that should be out of the door. As for either Fortron, I can't see why not. 500 Watts is pretty satisfactory for a system like yours.

I love my Blue Storm, rails always fluctuate by a few thousandths of a volt, but for me they always stay about 11.904/5.053/3.36, whether im surfing or playing Far Cry, and if you look around, there was a silentpc review that showed that Fortron correctly marks the Blue Storm as a 500 watt psu, and it stood up to their voltage tests pretty darn well. My rig has everything in my sig, plus 4 80mm & a 120mm led fans, 4-12" uv lights, and even a floppy :eek:
Good, solid, sleeved psu for under $100 :D
