Newegg has the Antec EA380 (380 Watts) for $25 off ($35):

They put them in the NSK4480 cases, we have been building a bunch of machines with them and have been very happy with their performance.

Subject: [Ma-linux] Green(er) PC Power Supplies

Just found a site called:

http://www.80plus.org/manu/psu/manu_psu.htm

The goal is that PSUs listed on this page must be 80% or greater efficient.
Meaning that if you draw 100W, they will draw 125W from the wall.

I've looked at several of the companies (PC Power & Cooling), and it could be
somewhat hard to find smaller units.

I am very partial to PC Power & Cooling, but the units I see listed on this
site as being rated 80plus are all high wattage.  If I was looking for a unit
for a unit in the 300-400W range, what advantages/disadvantages would I incur
by buying a unit rated for 800W?

Hope this site is useful.

Jay
