				I think i might have jacked up my PSU.  its no big deal bought it off a friend for like $50 2 years ago.  prob need to upgrade anyway.  i was wandering about Energy-Efficient rateings and what to look for.  what are good reliable brands and should i go modular?  thanks

				Modular is up to you, it makes your case look cleaner.  Nowadays, look for at least 80% efficient.  OCZ, Corsair, Antec are all good brands

				GET A MODULAR!!  I can not believe I saved $20 to have my case look awful. lol, Even if you do not have a clear side panel for airflow the modular is better, I have so many wires tucked I can't get the back side of my case closed without a lil force.

				It seems like Kingwin builds for a popular line but I'm not sure about that.  Since you're in Japan name some common PSU manufacturers that are available to you and we'll say yes or no.
