Post #140,334 by Ashton 2/6/04 6:24:55 PM Reply	General PS question - How is "PC Power and Cooling" stacking up these days? Back when I paid any attention to the {ugh} cheesy PC electronics quality, generally -- they were an oasis in the wilderness. I gather from your obv informed selections, that PCPC has -at least- some competition for quality now. (I alwayd deemed too, that - the quality of fans had best be measured in CPU and other replacement costs ie a bit more than 50\ufffd/"fan".) I recall months ago, the link to a case mfg. place in China? - so I'm aware that you can obtain quality there too, if you do homework. Illuminating about the intricacy of a quality "mere case", I thought.) Ashton test eq. snob
Post #140,373 by folkert 2/6/04 10:28:28 PM Reply	Yessir... PCPC has a TON a great Power Supplies... very worth every penny. Enermax has been making serious inroads the past year or so. Not quite as "clean-cut" as PCPC, but getting there (wires are not as straight and wound as well, etc...) cost about 2/3rds the cost of PCPC. PowerMan is an up and comer, might be something to watch. Long way to go with the wiring and such... but Quality components are in the higher priced Power Supplies. About 2/3rds the price of Enermax. Just watch out for Tigerconn (I think that's name) Some power supplies are good, some terrible. -- [link\|mailto:greg@gregfolkert.net\|greg], [link\|http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry\|REMEMBER ED CURRY!] @ *i_wethey* "Lately, The only thing keeping me from being a Serial Killer is my distaste for manual labor." -- Dilbert Calendar, January 4, 2004
