Replacement for Antec NeoPower 480W?

[sanchez_1960]

Basically I had an issue with my Antec NeoPower 480W where when you first plugged it in in the morning, it'd take ages before the power button would respond. Over time it would get longer and longer.

I lived with it by leaving the power switch on for the PC. Last week I decorated my room so had to unplug and remove it all. Put it all back and now the power wont respond at all, despite being plugged in for 24 hours now.

Is this a common problem with this PSU? The mobo light is on but no response when I press the button.

Anyway, I'm looking to replace it ASAP cuz I need my computer back!

1. I've been happy with the noise of the NeoPower so something of a similar db would be great.

2. Something that has the modular connectors for it would be even better.

Any recommendations?

Get a Hx520. It is great for me.

Seconded.

As you are concerned by noise you might also care to know that the Corsair units currently top SPCRs recommended list (http://www.silentpcreview.com/article699-page1.html)

Bear in mind they top the list for being quiet...huge difference between quiet and build quality...

Just do a search for Hx520 or Hx620. You will find all you need to know.

There's nothing wrong with the Corsair's build quality.

I'm wondering why you unplug your computer every day

Cheers guys, ordered the Corsair!

I unplug it out of habbit, stupid really but after i started getting that issue I stopped doing it! I just hope it is the PSU to why my system wont turn on!
