Crap. Pure crap. I just had to replace the NEW Antec power supply in a computer (for one of my stepkids) before the system was even finished because it couldn't take the strain. It was nothing more than a single Duron 950 and an old VooDoo Banshee video card. It acted funny from the get go, but after hooking up a second hard drive where the CD rom had been (to transfer the old files from the previous system), it wouldn't load. I hooked up my favorite OEM power supply and it worked fine.
So now the kid has my favorite power supply. OH, the wattage? 250W. Before you go off thinking that 250W is too weak, remember the system, 1 low power CPU, 1 low power video card, 1 128MB DIMM, and 2 hard drives. In case you didn't know, that's nothing a 200W power supply can't handle in a Hewlett Packard.
The reason I said Another bad antec, this is the same problem I meantioned over a year ago when I tried a couple different Antec 250 watt power supplies in my old PIII system, and they didn't have enough power, even though I had half a dozen other brands of power supplies of various unknown makes that could.
I've never owned a True Power supply, so I can't speak on them, but your basic Antec is just as weak as the weakest of generic power supplies.
