I will probably go for the 520 unless XMS can give more info on the silver power.
Just in case anyone is mislead, I am getting a HIS x1950 video card, the reason I asked is because I may upgrade in the future... and dont want to have to change everything..
I had a chance to read the review on the SilverPower PS and it looks VERY NICE
Great review too GUYS:worship:
I would imagine you couldnt go wrong with either choice. The main difference I saw was that the Corsair has modular cables. That would allow you to only use cables you needed making the installation cleaner.
but the SilverPower is a looker

That has an editors choice award, but where is the best in class thing?
Basically im going to get the best value if I get the hx520 from specialtech for £56, but I could get the SilverPower for a similar price elswhere. Taking into account I may want to upgrade in the future would you suggest the silverpower because it has more wattage..
the 520 would run just about any video card. (same with the 600)
I dont think the difference between the 2 is much. I like that the Corsair has 3 12V rails (the 600 watt only has 2)
And I like the modular cables of the Corsair as well.
I dont think the Silverpower is available here in the states yet so I dont know where it is or how much.

Ok just poped in my SilverPower and pld css with everything oced. Its seems fine, no probs, and is very quiet 
One thing, one of the cables wasnt long enough to put all 3 of my HD's (non SATA Powered) onto it. So I had to use an extension cable that i had. Apart from that i love it blue matches my other fans.

Hmm sounds sweet, shame I just ordered the 520. Should I be regretting my decision?? (the blue LED would have been cool) I probably ended up saving £10 getting the 520 over the silver power.
