Hi,
I'm looking at buying a new psu and initially had my eye on a 500w Fortron Blue Storm until I spotted this.
Here's a review on the psu:

The thing that's swaying me towards this is the adjustable pots for the 5v/12v and the modular connectors. My budget is limited so the OCZ 520w powerstream is out of the equation since it's double the price over here(au$129 for the superflower vs au$232 for the 520w Powerstream).
Since I'll probably be moving to the DFI nf4, venice 3200 and 6600GT soon, I'll be needing a new psu soon so why not replace it with my Antec 430w Truepower now.
So some of my questions:
Does anyone have this psu and care to comment?
Will a 24pin psu work in my current 20pin nf3(Gigabyte K8NS-939) board?
My budget is au$150(~ us$120) so roughly the choices I have are Superflower 500w Modular, Topower P6 520w, Tagan 480w, Fortron FSP 500w Blue Storm, Antec 550w Truecontrol.
Unfortunately the 530w Fortron/Aopen is very expensive here retailing at us$185.
