    Re: **List of trusted companies**

    Only got one thing to add; Levicom, a PSU manufacturer.
    Not-so-known brands are very often supplying bad products, and it can be difficult and expensive to find a good PSU.

    I've had a Levicom 450W for about a year and a half now, and I'm very satisfied. It powers my rig (see sig) without problems, and the rails delivers the Amps they're supposed to.

    It's also got a knob for adjusting the internal fan speed, and the whole PSU looks really nice:


    My 2 cents.

        Yes, you will need one with PCI-express connectors.

        12V rail is basically a part of a PSU that powers your system. The better the rails the better the PSU (in most cases).

        12V1 12V2 both at 18A is a good PSU.

        Whats your budget?

          Add the ArticCooling Freezer7 and Freezer7 Pro to the trusted CPU Heatsinks for P4s. I have the first, and it runs mine super cool, and I just installed one on my friends system and I haven't pulled temps on it, but its got a bigger fan, and is much lighter.

              Like I said, crap companies are making it into that list just because one person likes them.

                    See? Those are the two companies with the highest failure rates. Are we making a list of TRUSTED companies or just plain companies?

                      Shipping-FedEx express Nerver had a problem with them but UPS TWICE they took my parts to another house and they take longer than FedEx.

                        I agree flanker. Sorry, next time someone reccomends something I will look into it before adding it onto the list.

                        I quickly browsed the current list and everything there looks fine to me.

                        Thanks.

                          What about Nvidia or ATI?
