Been thinking of getting a couple new PS...pulling those 1,300W beasts out of my boxes for a smaller ones, hopefully reduce the heat and power consumption...Sadly, this 380 is still a bit smaller than I need....probably minimum of 500 or 600W lol

The deal on the 380W unit is dead, and the full price of it is now the same as the Antec Earthwatts 430W unit... $59.99. But, now there is a $30 rebate on the 430W unit...

These are pretty good psu's, I've got one earthwatt 380 and 2 xclio goodpower 500's running three identically configured quad core folding systems and the system using the earthwatt consistently pulls about 15w-20w less power from the outlet. If you have a system that can get by with a 380w or 430w psu I recommend these.
Xclio goodpower 500w systems (2) pull 120w each
Antec Earthwatt 380w system (1) pulls 105w
These are dedicated folders with no videocards or hard drives running 2 instances of the SMP client each so the processors are pretty well loaded, but at stock speed. _________________

I own the 500 watt version and it works extremely well. No thrills but works as advertised. I bought it for 50.00 at COMP a year ago. _________________
