Hey, thanks on the PSU tip. I'll be sure to keep that as the "very-low-end-option" (read: very-low-price-option) to recommend, bookmarked it.

hey BG-O....

Here is a tip for you to help others... As you know and tend to agree... we have our price points preferences for PSUs. $35 / $50 / $90+ Mine has been Thermaltake / OCZ / Corsair in those brackets.

I'm changing my "budget" PSU from the 430 watt Thermaltake to the 300watt Seasonic. While both have their wattage, its the AMPs that still count and the Seasonic has more 12v rails than the Thermaltake - which is important for modern computers.

Here is the info:
Seasonic 300 = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817151059
+3.3V@18A,+5V@20A,+12V1@17A, +12V2@17A,-12V@0.8A,+5VSB@2.5 (Big fan - low noise) $38 ($5~10 more than Thermaltake)

TT 430 = http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817153023
+3.3V@20A, +5V@30A, +12V@18A, -5V@0.5A, -12V@0.8A, +5VSB@2A
(Huge 5v rail... not needed - very weak 12v) $36 ($24 after rebate)
