rosewill version 1 12V-34A $54

rosewill version 2 12V-36A $69
my counter $59 12V-34A combined
need slightly more power?
Antec True Power Trio TP3-550 550W ATX12V Power Supply with Three 12V Rails 100 - 240 V UL, CUL, FCC, TÃœV, CE, C-tick, CCC, CB $60 12V-42A
rosewill- I am very generous giving it 75% efficiency 420W *.75= 315W
corsair - 396W * .80= 316.8W
earthwatt 430 - 360W *.80 = 288W
430 maybe a bit weak to power more power hungry cards but then again this is the budget build section
btw ya think 430 would power the new HD 4850 and a quad?
it might have been good back then, but this is now!
plus wouldn't the energy savings add up over time?
better efficiency -> less heat -> longer parts life -> less carbon released -> more green environmentally and pocket wise
therefore I see no place for rosewill
oh yeah, I had someone counter me before on the v2 rosewill saying efficiency is 72% and GREATER
but even the better rated PC Power and Corsair doesn't get MUCH higher than their rated 80ish-%
so I don't see how one rated at 72 is going to compete with 80% rated
