Vote in the poll, what do you think? I want the most STABLE. Noise isn't too much of a problem now... I'm leaning towards the TR2...

APEVIA (ASPIRE) ATX-CW500WP4 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817148027
HIPRO HP-E4009F5WR http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817174019
HIPRO TOP-500P5 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817174023
Thermaltake Silent PurePower W0009R http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817153006
Thermaltake TR2 W0070RUC http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817153023

(BTW, when you make a poll, your post shows, while you are setting up the poll, so if you don't see the poll, wait 5 minutes, and click refresh....)

None.

Don't cheap out on a PSU. Ever.

Newegg doesn't carry my 450W FSP Saga anymore
It was ~ $50, and it has a PCI-E connector.

what am I supposed to do, then? keep this unstable one until it blows up? no thank you... I'm selling it, and getting a different one (I am cheap, now btw, not in Feb, I plan to have this in my next PC: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817104934, unless I can afford this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817703006)
This PSU needs to match my current setup, not for upgrades....

That's the #1 PSU I will highly recommend because I did have two and the two were/are extremely reliable for me. I had one with a 650 OC'd to 4.0ghz, 6600 GT, 1GB RAM, 2x Optical, 4x HDDs and 3x 120mm fans total.

Now that's a reliable PSU.

Next? Yeah, the Silencer 750W is the ultimate PSU for what money can buy.

ThermalTake 430w. Decent PSU, good reviews, runs SLi (7600GT) stable.

Go for it!
The Thermaltake 430W. Ran my 7600GT SLI stable. Still running it stable.

Lets hope one of these decides not to blow up on you too....

The 430W thermaltake appears to be the best of those listed, but a PSU is an investment.

Goodluck selling it. I tried for days and days to sell my CoolMax PSU and I finally only got like $35 for it.

Best one for the money is the thermal one.
Dont buy cheap PSU, its a too important part of your rig.
XClio 450BL or the 400W FSP
just spend $55 and get a 450w FSP shipped from the egg.
Well Ill let others reccomend a PSU however the ones in the Poll are all pretty poor..Even for that Price range.
