Building a new computer and trying to decide between the Fortron Source
FSP AX-500 Blue Storm and the Antec NEO480 Power Supply.
Thanks for any input to help me decide.

Not the Antec. That particular model of Antec has a weak 12V rail (voltage
drifts, but stays barely within specs), although USUALLY Antec power
supplies are good. Just avoid that one. I don't know about that specific
model of Fortron, but they are a good brand. It would definitely be better
than the NEO480. Also consider the following. (flashy and available in
several colors, but a GREAT performer, also) -Dave

http://www.silentpcreview.com/ recently posted a very detailed
positive review of that Fortron PSU. Apparently, it's similar
to previous 120mm fan Fortons, but with improvements all around.
In particular, efficiency is significantly improved.
