    i have a store credit of $39.54 at tigerdirect.com (cuz i returned a defective PSU.) the defective one i returned was an ULTRA 500w with 2 blue led fans. Now the same PSU i had is almost $70.00, i want a PSU with at least 400w, but i dont really know which one. can someone tell me if ULTRA really does suck, or if i got a bad one, or if any of these choices are good:

    I have an ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe mobo 3.0ghz P4
    4 80mm case fans
    3 HDD's
    CC lights w/controller
    1 CDR
    1 3.5
    *edit* a Radeon 9500 pro (which is powered also)

    how bout these PSU's:

    diablotek (sound like a piss poor one to me, but.........)

    Thermaltake

    EZ Media (sounds like crap also, but i dont know)

    the diablotek one looks pretty cheap...but not sure...i personally wouldnt trust it. id go with a brand name, like thermaltake, enermax, or ANTEC (zapjb's fav.). there are a few others, just cant remember them...
