Zing and Jelly Bean have already listed few above, OCZ and Corsair.

I would also recommend Thermaltake (also listed above).

Other good PSU's include Seasonic, Antec, Enermax, CoolMax, Zalman, Hiper and Silverstone < probably the most popular manufacturers.

Still high quality manufacturers however less popular include Seventeam, Emacs, iStarUSA, Norwood and PCP&C. That are others, definately not including Raidmax there... despite it's priddy little blue light!!

ill check out some of those. Thanks

btw whats up with your "blue lights thing"? You put it in like every post.

*EDIT
ok im think I will get this one:
Newegg.com - OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS ATX12V / EPS12V 600W Power Supply 100 - 240 V CB, CE, CSA, UL, FCC - Power Supplies

any objections? Well it only has 4 molex connectors and I have 1 cd drive, 1 cd/dvd burner, 3 hds(2 PATA 1SATA,) and 4 molex fans. I have 1 Y splitter
The psu has a SATA plug so thats one less, but still 4 drives and 4 fans(fans plug into each other so it should be fine.

The price is a actually 2x what I was expecting, so that sucks. and I cant find any warranty info.

hehe, yes it's one way of enticing you! If their products look as good as say Themaltake from the outside, then more customers will want to buy their product... and it works too!

You were not fooled by the priddy blue light? And if not, what made you pick that particular PSU (in post #1)? There are a some cheaper PSU's out there (with priddy blue light sold seperately!), and this is the only difference I could see between them.

Sorry, I'm sure you'll get used to my sense of humour after a while.

Found the warranty! 3 year power swap.

Oh what way does the fan blow air? into the case or out?

*EDIT
Well that does not matter now, it should be here by friday, or sooner.(estimated delivery was 1day!)

ok It came today! Just installed it and it works.
*NOTE: 2hd's and 4fans do not work one one rail. 2hds and 3 fans do.
Ill go and test it out in some games.
It was really heavy. like 2 of my old Power Supply Unit's!
So far its great, I was even able to get to 3.2 with my 5000+! It used to crash when it put the fsb to 16x now it works fine!(I run it at 15x in games 5x while idle. (a64clk))

One thing the voltages in speed fan seem wrong.
+3.3 = 0.0v
+5 = 4.87
-12 = 16.9v
-5 = 8.7v
+5 = 6.85v
and my core temp is 5c. Room temp is 25-27

EDIT****!!!!
WTF!!! im so Pi$ed! I bought it for 89.99 I just looked at it ageine and its 79.99! $10.00 what the hell?
