    Antec BP550 Plus vs OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ500MXSP?

    I was considering these two power supplies... I need something in the 500 watt range and I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on which is better.

    Any sirtec built coolmax/OCZ are not that good. They have barely in spec ripple and okish voltage regulation. Go for the BP550. It's a delta.

    Delta is my 1st choice in power supplies

    Antec is a great company.. I sent back an Antec PSU about 8 months ago because one of the two fans on the PSU died on it and they sent back a replacement that was 120 watts higher than what I sent in..  Can't beat that RMA service..

     

    Onboard RAID vs. 3Ware RAID

    I never recommend people run RAID-5 with onboard chipsets.
