Yeah, I know, Seasonic is best, but you can't get hold of them around here. If they don't get here soon, my two other candidates are:

Enermax Noisetaker

BeQuiet

System would be typical desktop AMD with a 6600GT card and one S-ATA HD.

Any suggestions?

G,

The enermax in the review is a slightly older version - ATX12v1.3 - and the one tested here. The latest version - ATX12v2.0 has more flexible cables, a few more sata connectors and a 24 pin motherboard connector. You can get really good deals on the older models. Here's the link - take a look at the cables as they are the most obvious change. - FG

G,

I wasn't going to comment, but I changed my mind. I have an enermax noisetaker and it is a really good unit. It has 4 sata connectors, flexible wiring, and everything you could possibly want including quietness. I guess the seasonic must be quieter, but the enermax fans stay at a constant speed most of the time and they are really not noticeable. They never speed up or if they do its very gradual and not very much. Its efficient so it stays pretty cool. To be honest I don't know anything about the bequiet exept for the review. - FG

Thanks a lot Frank. You're great help! If you find yourself short of Papst fans or Toblerones you only have to ask.
