I am going to build a Core 2 Duo machine and wanted to know what power
supply I should be looking for, would a 600 watt be ok?
Anyone recommend a good 'quiet' make please?
Thanks guys

PC Power and Cooling 'Silencer' series are very good quality and very
quiet compared to some others. As far as wattage goes, a lot depends on what
else you are putting in your system. A basic 2 HDD system with a DVD-RW and
a video card like an NV 8800GTS should need no more than a 450W or so and
that is erring on the high side. PC P&C PSUs manufacture for several other
companies and have a good reputation and I have used them for many years
because I have had very few issues with them. Like anything else, you will
pay a bit more for quality, but not a lot in the whole scheme of things.
