Looking for opinions on the quality of this PSU, or just general thoughts on the reliability of Antec's PSUs. Not worried about whether or not it'll be able to supply my system, as it definitely will, just not sure about how safe a bet it is because I haven't really heard much about Antec's...

Hi guys,

Hey guys,
I'm broke and so is my computer. I need to build a new one and want to cut corners to get the best hardware I can on my limited budget. Should I reuse my 7-year-old Antec Gold 750W Power Supply? I am guessing my build would maximum be 500W.
As far as I can tell, the power supply has...
System Specs:
Core i5 3470, intel dz77sl-50k motherboard, corsair Vengeance 8gb ram.
The power supply trips after powering on for just a few seconds when connected to the motherboard. It runs fine on the paper clip test though.
The motherboard does not seem to have any problem as it runs fine on...
Hi all, I love the look of the Antec Prizm fans. But it means that i'll probably need a liquid cpu cooler that goes well with it. Is there a good cooler that goes well with the Prizms for an I9-9900k?

I recently salvaged an old Antec case from 2003. Closest match I can find is to the Antec PlusView 1000AMG, but the window panel is slightly different (no vent).
It only had one set of 5.25" drive rails, and I'm looking for more, if anyone has compatible ones.
The rails in the foreground of the...
