I sent you a PM how did you mod the antec ? I need some help with my Truepower I want to add some pots. give me some tips on how you did it !! like the value of the vr you used and where you soliderd too in the psu, I saw some high wattage resistors in the psu and figure thats a good starting point, pls update.

Mine had the pot's in place.. for the 5v/12v rails and the 3v rails. But I think it's still a POS, rails are way high with no real gain.

thanks for reply I looked at your attached photo and its completely different than my Antec Truepower 550w, I'm going to open it up this weekend and play around with putting some pots on it and will let ya know bowman how it turns out

I'd say definatly not antec, got one of those and I'm a little disapointed with the rails :\

Just found an interesting 500w PSU for $78.
From the specs it appears to be a heavy duty server PSU
with 24-20pin adapter included.

AGPB P4ATX-500W Dual Fan, Power Supply


Complete overload and overvoltage protection, fan speed control,
and monitor output .... nice features.

It's made by AGPB Enterprises. Never heard of that
manufacturer. Anyone here know of them?


here are the features:
---------------------------------------------------

"Features

Support Intel & AMD Dual CPU Server M/B
(24pin connector for Intel Server M/B and additional adapter cable for AMD
Server M/B

One 24pin - 20pin adapter cable for regular ATX M/B

Fan Control Switch - for fan speed adjustment

One more power outlet for Monitor

Two 12 VDE ball-bearing fan

Output over voltage protection

Short circuit protection on all outputs

----------------------------------------------------------------


here is the manufacturer specifications webpage. HERE

+12v = 28a
+5v = 52/66a
+3.3v = 26/35a

+3.3V and +5V max Output 260W,
Peak Surge Max Output 620W
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------


These look like sturdy PSU. Unfortunately, there don't seem
to be any reviews of them though. And very few vendors sell them.
Most of the ones who do are asking $120-$180 for the 500w and
over units.
That $78 offer might not be so bad.
