A friend's getting a GTS and needs to upgrade from his generic 400W PSU. I've got no idea what's available at what prices so let me know if you have a used PSU for sale ~2k. Alternatively, if a brand new PSU (Powersafe?) costs a bit more than 2k, I'll ask him to consider that. He's ready to buy immediately because his GTS will arrive anytime now.
WTB: New or used 450-500W power supply

Does he have any budget marked out for the psu?
GTS but no money for a good PSU.
A new Powersafe 500 has 18A on 12v and should not cost more than 2.5k i think- maybe lower now.
But is that enough for the GTS- depending on overall rig too?:S :ashamed:

I finally got him to get an X2, 2GB memory and the GTS... and now, to spend 2k on a PSU. And no kidding, it took me close to a year to get him to upgrade lol.About his setup, X2 3600 + 2GB memory + 1 optical + 2 hdd's + GTS. A quality 450 watter will handle this setup, so keep those suggestions coming. I guess the Powersafe 500W will be worth considering... should be around 2.2k now, but availability in Bangalore is a big question.
Zebronics sells a Delta OEM 500W PSU...that retails for arnd 1600 bucks all inclusive. You can go to Megabyte in the lane just opposite the ICICI bank in SP Road & checkout the PSU there.Looks to be very heavy & quite solid. Got SATA as well as EPS 8-pin connectors.
See the link below....the PSU at the bottom of the page (middle one) is the one I am talking about.
