Anyone have a brand preference for power supplies? Mine went out a few months ago and I'm finally gettin' around to replacing the thing with another 550 Watt unit, preferably modular. I've heard some people say go for Corsair, Antec, and SeaSonic.

My current is a Corsair, but I bought it based solely on power output and price.

Corsair is generally my choice for mid-range power (4-700W).

Just make sure you get a model with a single 12V rail. Multi-railed units tend not to last as long and won't provide advertised power to high amp devices like video cards.







IMHO Antec has become crap over the years. Just be careful with them, low-end budget models tend to be one 12V per 200-250 watts.
