Price range? I used Ultra in my last build ran nice and quiet, and was affordable... new PC has a Vortec going in it...

Antec Tru Powers are always a good solid power supply.

Did you have a price tag in mind?

My price range is pretty much nothing over $100.

Some of you know what I do for a living...for those of you who don't lets just say this is right up my ally...

Given the direction Mother Board suppliers have taken with design and the EPS12V V2.1 design specifications. You need to start being very carefull what supplies you use on your dual core,SLI, high power systems..

The EPS12V V2.1 specifications clearly state that the CPU and the rest of the system should have separate 12V rails, and that the two rails "... should not be connected together on the baseboard. However if you crack open alot of the low cost power supplies you will find they are not truely compliant. Attached is a picture os a Power One supply I cracked open recently during a qual for one of our AP platforms...

You can see in the picture that the supply only has a single 12V rail that gets shared. Now this is within the spec but it's a dodgy work around the corner of it.

I've cracked open the Antec True power and I use a Trio-650 in my computer at home; http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=23650

The Antec True Power 2.0 delivers as well...you can decide...

Since I got into the hard drive storage industy I've used nothing but Antec supplies in my home computers...

My answer would be a yes...
