I've searched the forum for any info on this power supply, but didn't come up with anything, so I apologize in advance if this has been talked about already...

Any thoughts on the ST56F?
http://www.silverstonetek.com/products-56f.htm

I've read good things about the 60F, but good things don't always carry down the line... I'm needing a new power supply for my system, my Thermaltake (bad choice on my part) just isn't getting the job done.

I think I've got it narrowed down to 2: Seasonic S12-500 or this one. Efficiency on the ST56F is listed as >80%, while the Seasonic is up to 80%.

I'm running a MSI K8N SLI Platinum with Athlon64 3200+, 6600gt vid card, 2 HD (PATA) and 2 optical, with the possibility of going SLI in the future. Would like a PSU that will be stable, and hopefully last through a few upgrades...

I'm looking hard at the ST56F, but I'm leery of pulling the trigger without hearing at least some feedback on it... One strike against the Seasonic, is that the cables aren't sleeved, but this one looks only half -sleeved, I could always sleeve em myself, I guess..

Thanks in advance. :)
 
If you want something sleeved or modular along with being efficient check out the Enermax Liberty series ... I have heard nothing but good words on them
