Powerstream all the way, the TT isn't even in the same league.

powerstream all the way here as well.

Thermaltake makes copy cat products. their best product i have to say is the big typhoon, which is damn good. look alike products such as the golden orb off of the zalman 7000. They have a reserator, which is off zalman, they have a tower112, which is off of the hyper6, and more.

Fortron makes decent psu's at good prices too, but the ocz will probably be better.

If you want quiet the look into the Season S12 range very good yet quiet too.

Well you heard wrong, the PCP&C are far from quiet.

I've got a OCZ 520W PSU, quietest PSU I've ever had. Great PSU, 2x Sata connectors and 1x PCI-E connector, adjustible rails. Second choice for me would probably be the Fortron PSU you mentioned. Not sure how quiet it is, but I've heard that it's a pretty nice PSU.

thanks for your all replys,

how about this old version Blue Storm 500W ATX 2.0 (AX500-A)
http://www.geizhals.at/img/pix/153261.jpg
aktive PFC, 12cm Lüfter • 2x SATA-Anschluß, 1x PCIe nVidia-Stecker • +3.3V 30A • +5V 28A • combined Power (+3.3V & +5V): 160W • +12V1 14A • +12V2 15A • combined total Power: 445W • -12V 0.3A • +5Vsb 2A


here Europe lowest price

ocz 520 129 euro , ocz600 190euro,BlueStorm Fortron500 SX2 96 euro,Blue Storm 500W ATX 2.0 73 euro seasonic 500 109euro,seasonic 600 139 euro,


whats the biggest difference between BlueStorm Fortron500 SX2 and Blue Storm 500W ATX 2.0 , if there is no big differnce , i will go to the old version of bluestorm,if there is a big difference , i will go for seasonic 600 or 500 (not mention they are sli already.)....

cos if i sepnd over 100euro for psu , i will go for seasonic 600 or 500,cos i like this kind of design, the bigger fans under the psu , it is definitely quieter and cooler for a
psu.

thanks ,
best regards.

What will you be powering? The Seasonic S12-600 and the Fortron AX500-A are both great PSU's and I recommend them both. I also recommend the OCZ Powerstream 520w.

Thermaltake PSU's are not exactly crap. I would actually call them "average." There are just much better alternatives available for around the same price or even cheaper. There are a few Thermaltake PSU's that are made by HEC as opposed to Sirtec. These are much better quality, but still not near top OEM's. I would put them closer to Antec/CWT level.
