Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners anyone up on the latest computer hardware?

The cases and power supplies are the part I know the least about. I figured the power supplies are the same with the exception of the wattage.

I'll have to look at Antec.

I'm completely sold on Corsair (Seasonic OEM) PSUs. Very energy efficient and unbelievably quiet.

Yeah, I'm very happy with the Corsair in my current computer. I'll be sticking with the brand for my new build.

I saw Newegg has some Seasonic's also...might be able to get the same thing basically for a lower price that way. I'm still looking. I may do the coolermaster HAF 922 case.

I just put the 550w Corsair into my cart. I'm up to just over $1000 with the new case and power supply. Was trying to keep it under 1000, but I don't think I'll quibble about the $17 I'm over.

Thats how I ended up with the Corsair. It was $10 cheaper than the same Seasonic at the time.

It was only about $15 more on a combo deal for a CD/DVD burner (SATA) so I threw that in as well...why not.

I'm going to do a little more looking at cases, as the one I have in there now is $120 after shipping. Once I get that figured out I think I'll go ahead and do it and build it myself.

I have to put in my vote for XClio PSUs. I've used XClio for my last two builds and have nothing bad to say about them. I used to use Antec all the time until they started dying after only a year or so of service.

Good choice with the CoolerMaster HAF 922 case. I'm going to upgrade to the HAF 932 in a couple of months. Axiom speakers first, new computer case second

Glad to see you have your priorities right

Amen, Jay! No computer case, no matter how nice, can compare to the pure bliss that comes from Axiom speakers! Right now my M22's/EP350 are filling the room with the gentle and subtle sounds of Rob Zombie
