Well its a good thing there's more than one major importer for Australia. Oh wait. No there isn't. I guess we'll go with what we're given.

Just remember Panda, MSY has fuck all in stock. Keep an open mind on what you want.

I'd recommend ToughPower myself.

Yeah, I'm kinda wondering whether or not to go ahead.

So realpower, toughpower or topower.  These guys sure are creative when it comes to naming.

Thanks all.

That Toughpower 600W is the best out of the lot, but also $150. CM Realpower 550W would do it too for $120.

I know ToPowers are the cheaper line of brands and thus not preferred by gamers. That does not change the fact they are good too, but indeed they are not as futureproof.

One last question - there's a gap at the top of my PSU and the case (about 1 cm).  Does it matter if the new PSU has the fan at the top or the bottom?

*There's no air intake/vent at the top.

*The current one has no fan visible looking into the case - may be on top already or have none.

PSU fan faces down, it does matter.

Edit: Let me rephrase that, to be more general. PSU faces towards the motherboard.

Right. So does that mean I might have to mount it so that the sticker is upside down? (the fan on the toughpower is on top)

no, the fan faces down.


(if your PSU is mounted at the top of your case)

I don't think the sticker's location matters. As long as the mounting screws fit and the cables aren't interfered with, flip it whichever way you have to so the fan is in the right spot.
