Power supply

Any input on the best power supply to get to build a system for home use.

I guess the power supply is my 1st consideration so would welcome any discussion or personnel favourites and why from anyone?
thanks

thanks

Must say I like the description of the seasonic info on the products page

What would be a great case to go with it?

this is the only negative I could find for the saesonic. what would the 24-20 pin con be used for and why do they need one?

Overall, the new Seasonic S12-600 power supply produced very good results. The unit exhibited good voltage regulation with excellent stability and offers a lot of capacity on the +3.3V, +5V and dual +12V rails. The S12-600 is very quiet even when operating under a moderately heavy load and runs cooler than most.

The S12-600 uses active power factor correction and produced one of the highest overall efficiencies I have measured to date. Seasonic is to be congratulated for developing a line of power supplies that are both environmentally friendly (active PFC) and highly efficient (>80%).

On the down side, the main output voltages were a bit low when using the 24-pin to 20-pin ATX adapter cable. Even so, all measured voltages were still within the required ATX12V specified tolerances.

ah maybe your right so the adaptor would be used only on older mods then?
