i need it to replace my antec 400w smartpower, are they good choices, i don't want to spend too much money, and i want a good power supply, cause my current one on the 5v line it's dropp to 4.8 and sometimes lower.

any good suggestions?

That dealsonic one looks like crap. In the specs it looks like a 350W one, i dont know how they got it to be 500W total. I am not familier with the achieve brand, so i can't say anything good or bad about it. 4.8v is within the tolerance level on power supplies anyway, i dont think you should be worried.

I'm also not familiar with achieve psu's. The rule of thumb I always go by with psu's is to not crap out and get a cheap one then have it fail on you in the long run. Go with a Antec TruePower series psu, I don't know what too much money is to you? but you can pick up a 430 truepower for about $90 or so. Is this going in your main system?

Leishi; NEITHER would be the best choice. U want a cheap, decent powersupply? Look @ Allied/Deer, Raidmax, Powmax, InWin/PowerMan (if you can find one bigger than 400w- I've only ever seen 235 and 300w ones, but they're decent for their size and price) and Enlight... However, I'd really recommend an Antec over anything else. I mean my 400w Pre-Smartpower/TruPower Antec is still chugging away, and is currently powering the K7D-L system with a single 2200+ (I'm not hard coding multis on those bartons until I test them @ the speed I want and my A7N8X is dead, and I doubt my KX7 can do 200MHz+ FSB speeds), and it's soon to be powering the dual 2500s @ (hopefully) 2.125GHz, 4 160gb Maxtor HDDs (Gotta love competition- Staples was out, so I got 'em from fry's for $90 each after rebates, and 3 of 'em have ATA-133 cards with them that I should be able to get $20 each for...) and possibly 2GB of DDR and a GFFX5900 or R9800 256 (not sure yet) and I've never had problems with it. It's powered every system I've had since I bought it at some point, and it's never caused a problem... if you aren't having problems with yours, I'd leave it.

how is turbolink? they have a 420watt psu come with their x-pider cases...and its only like 90 bux for both of them in newegg.com

too tell you the truth, i haven't had any problems with this PSU yet, but soon i;m going to have water cooling coming, and couple CCFLs, so i was thinking maybe i need a BIGGER and badder PSU, cause at 1.85vcore my 1700+ running at 2.5gh is causing the 5v line drop down to 4.8 and high 4.7s so i thought i might have problems with the new setup, with higher OC.

i wanted to get a robanton 600w, but couldn't find them anywhere, anyone got a good link?
