Q-Tec 500w PSU?

[urian]

Has anyone got any experience with, thoughts of the Q-tec 500W BigFan(120mm) Lownoise 26dB(A) PSU?

I cancelled the order for a Zalman ZM 400B-APS I made earlier this week since I noticed that the wattage probably wouldn't be enough for my computer (after I've finished upgrading it).

Fortron Source makes very good inexpensive power supplies, their wattage is true, it will list on the case its continuous power along with its max wattage, so if it says it outputs 400 watts continuous then it will output 400 watts at 100% duty cycle, then it will say its max wattage. The idea is to get a PSU that will sustain a high amount of continuous wattage, not max wattage, so a True 400 watt PSU is usually enough for even the most demanding gamer.
