Hi guys,

I am building my HTPC and I need a good Budget 400-500W PSU.

I would also prefer if they have least cable clutter as I want the case to be well ventilated.

I have shortlisted these three.

1. FSP Saga II 500W Rs. 2,000~2,200/-
2. Xigmatek NRP-VC503(I really like this) Rs. 2,550/-
3. Corsair CX400 Rs. 2,675/-

I know CX400 is the best in the Lot, But I still need reviews on the other two.:S

If anyone has The Xigmatek please post a small review.

This is my System Config:D

Motherboard: GA-81915-ME-C
Processor: Intel P4 2.8GHz LGA775
RAM: 2x1GB Transcend DDR 400 (Dual Channel)
Graphics Card: Zotac GT 430 1GB DDR3 (Display Port model not Zone or Low profile)
Sound Card: Diamond Xtreme 7.1 PCI sound card.
HDD: 1x 40GB Maxtor IDE
1x 2TB Segate/ WD Sata HDD (not yet finalized)
Cabinet: Lian-Li v351 Cube
Regards,

Well you can't beat Corsair, Antenc and Seasonic in quality. Whatever you buy, If I am correct all make Active PFC based PSUs. Make sure you get a Pure Sine Wave UPS with this, else you will have troubles: http://www.techenclave.com/pc-peripherals/of-psu-ups-pfc-sine-wave-114774.html

It will be connected to the mains which is already backed by an inverter(non-sine wave)

its a decent system, so a FSP Saga II 500W will go.

How good is the cable length and Quality

Plus does it look similar to CX400's cables which is wrapped with black sleves

Don't know about Inverter. BTW, What you mean by non-sine wave .. stepped sine wave or simulated sine wave or something else ?

as far as I know when using a Sin wave appliances dont make a humming sound. But mine does and the guy who fixed my inverter said that it is not a sine wave inverter
