    Damn, German amazon is probably the worst place to buy stuff in germany, I just looked there and that PS costs 60€, wich means 80$.
    But you should maybe pay just a tiny little bit more and get the modular version, proper cable managment is always important and looks better if you have a sidepanel :)

    i have no window sidepanel, but i do have a sidepanel, everyone should actually, not good for your pc to turn it with the case open ;), also, not sure if a modular would fit in my case(even though its probably a good idea for me, since i have no cable management side, all the cables have to be on the same side of the case that the MB and such are)

    Why should it not fit? The cx600m is a cx600, the only difference is you can plug in and out the cables so you don't have them lying arround if you dont need them.

    aren't modular versions a little bit bigger than the normal version?


    EDIT:

    yeah they are:

    Non Modular:
    • Product Dimensions: 5.5 x 5.9 x 3.4 inches ; 4.5 pounds
    Modular:

    • Product Dimensions: 11.4 x 8.5 x 5.1 inches ; 3.6 pounds

    For those rainy days,:p but in seriousness it all gets used in doing renders for games, video work, stuff in blender. maxing out games while still being smooth, and still being overkill.:D

    Most power supplies are slightly more energy efficient when only operating at 50% load instead of lets say 75% load. A 500W power supply current kicking out 400W would be doing so less efficiently than a 1000W power supply kicking out 400W. But I doubt the difference is enough for anyone to really care :p

    The fact that you have an Acer that works on any level amazes me....

    I never really used it but I do know that it has some problems.

    I was looking through the picture I have on Photobucket (Been using it for years) and I came across a picture from the time my old laptop's GPU overheated:

    It was a glitch. The GPU did actually die of heat though.. (It didn't really overheat at all, the Quadro 135m was known for failing a lot.)

    that's nearly identical to mine except i've got an 8400gs video card and 4gb of ram. I'm also looking to upgrade as soon as the parts get here but not on as big of a budget. $260 :p

    Are you truly that immature to think I care about this after so long?

    Please, stop this petty "ha, I win" bullcrap.
