seems abit steep if you ask me
I think you could get one local for just around $80.00

Does anyone else have anything to say I mean this one is the best out there from what a read. It also has a 5 year warranty.

I would like some advise frome the Ambush! Tech Department.

The A.T.D. has never failed me b4 so I dont think it will now.

Please help I have other things I need to buy, but I also want to put my PC back together again so I can use it.

Why do you want to spend so much?  I'd just go with a local one for a better price.  Chances are that you will either loose the receipt or the company selling it will be out of business in a few years anyway.

My EnerMax 415W PS cost me $85.00 and I purchased it at DIT.

I did notice the company that you were looking at is a previous sponsor with us.

I would personally purchase it locally since purchase from a Internet means that if the PS shoots craps, you are out a PS for at least a week.  Local purchase means that you can exchange it right away.

And to be honest even with all my fans, I am not drawing 415W in my system... yet.

Ambush! Tech Deprtment, Hmmm I detect a source of revenue here. ATDcorp.com:lol
Cool, most of the income could go toword LAN parties.

n1c, One of my buddies got  a 450watt PS
 for just around $90-$95, the only thing it was
 lacking was a mini plug.
he got it from either DIT or Compusa. those are the only places he shops but I'll check for you where it was.

Here is a review of 15 PS's

The BQT P4 370W from Be Quiet also earned good grades, with an operating noise level of 25.9 dB(A) at minimum and 33.4 dB(A) at maximum load, it is almost inaudible and earns itself a grade of "very good" with respect to volume. The cable length and connection options also get a ranking of "very good". The efficiency factor of the BQT P4 370W is about 70%. Unfortunately the German manufacturer does not offer the PC power supply unit on the US market.

Aerocool's Aero 420P4 is our favorite for performance and design. With maximum power of 455 watts it offers plenty of reserves even for high-end systems. Modding fans will like the unusual design with the three green acrylic windows that allow a look at the components on the interior of the shiny case. In the dark, the LEDs of the two fans light up the inner workings of the case in green. Honorable mention: In the 400-watt class, the Nexus NX4000 has the highest power with 467 watts. However, this product does not shut off when overloaded. Rather, it delivers a voltage outside the tolerance range via the +5-volt line.

In the high-power class above 450 watts the Antec True Control 550 is the victor. With 495 watts the Antec power supply unit leads the entire test panel in the category of "measured maximum power." In addition to very good cable lengths and two connectors for case fans, it offers the option of optimizing input voltage as an equipment highlight. This is done by means of three potentiometers that are inserted into a 5.25" slot on the front of the PC case. This makes it good particularly for overclockers.
