Hum i may be wasting money on overkill but... in the last 8 years through multiple rebuilds and countless upgrades i have gotten by with a total of 3 power supplies... this will be my 4th. And if you have blown enough to populate a small country... perhaps you may not be the right person to take advice from. But i do appreciate all of the info and opinions i can get. Quality and expandability on a budget is the real ideal goal. The best bang for the buck is what I am looking for not just the cheapest thing that will work with a good brand name. I have been reading many reviews on many different power supplies and the thermaltake ones do look good. But dont have the expandability for the price range im looking for on most of the models they make.
Even if that 430watt thermaltake would power what i have it only has 2 sata connectors. Thats a real downfall. Its also only 60% Efficiency when all of the newer models are almost all 80% Over time that will pay for itself in power saving costs. Needing to upgrade a power supply just because i need more hard drive space is never a good thing. Just not worth buying a dated power supply to save a few bucks when my budget can afford something better.
