Best type of PSU for Antec 900

Hi,

Been checking out recommendations for a new PSU for an Antec 900. What would be the best type? Top fan or rear fan? Is there any benefit either way with this case?

Cheers

Andy

PS. And any recommendations for a 5-600W'ish sub $70 PSU?

I use a seasonic 700w with a top fan, seems to be pretty cool.
I would recommend one that is fully modular i think the Corsair PSUs under a certain wattage are fully modular, and check where the 4/8 pin connector for your CPU is, if its at the very top of your board then its quite a stretch, the seasonic is just about long enough and i have to cut across the board under the graphics card.

Either would work as well, but if you want to go with the design of the 900, go for a rear fan, based on the fact that the 900 utilises "Front to Back" airflow.

Have just ordered the 520. All parts should arrive tomorrow so I can have a happy few days moving it all over

Cheers for the help and advice, everyone
