Hi there

I posted here a while back about a power supply recommendation. I was wondering if anybody could recommend 600-700w quiet/modular power supplies for a Dell XPS8100?

Sorry to link to another thread, I wasn't getting any further responses so I'm trying again.

Thanks!

    ■Modular units tend to take up a bit more space with the custom connectors used on them, just something to keep in mind since I don't know how tight the Dell model fit in the case.
    ■High quality modular power supplies are not cheap.

This EVGA is very high quality and features an 'ECO' switch to keep the fan quiet until the unit is under a load.
