Power Supply-help!
I have a cheap 350W PS (one fan) for my 2.8 Prescott that was bundled with my case, adn I am looking for a new one. I think 350 is a bit low, and I was going to upgrade to about 450-500W with 2 fans. A few questions - What will a better PS with more fans do in the subject of tempertaures, performance, and noise, and which brand/model of power supply would be the best buy for at or below 70 dollars? I have seen reviews of a supposedly silent thermaltake that is actually loud, and I ve heard good thigns about antec, though their prices are a bit steep, as with some enermax power supplies, which has 2 fans and a blower.

fortron makes some good powersupplies and they are decently priced, enlights are good for being mid quality, seasonic makes some good ones also. i personally use antec as they have a great rma dept (just in case :D) enermax's just plain sucks, dont have experience with anyone elses. dont forget some of them like antec have a 3 year warranty also. antec, enermax, and enlights powersupplies are definetely quiet.
depending on where you go you should be able to find an antec true 380 or 430 for around $70
