Power Supply mounting confusion

om...
I've been using an Allied 400W PSU that I got at Newegg.com for about
US $36. It may not be a "true" 400W unit, but it has been stable for
the several months that I've owned it. It is a dual-fan (pulls up
from the bottom fan and expels through the back one) model with plenty
of power connectors. I believe this model is "AMD-approved" for what
it's worth.

I'll check it out.

Thanks,

Charlie

Antec 430 Watt Tru-Power power supply. Excellent choice, built ruggedly,
and conservatively rated.


I'm glad you said that. The Antec TruePower 430 is one of the power
supplies I had my eye on.

Thanks

Thanks for the link. It looks like a nice power supply. I like the 120mm
fan.

Practically all of 'em.


Well, the power supplies made by PC Power & Cooling are often recommended.
So the first one I looked at (410 ATX) can be seen at:

It appears to have no vent or fan on the bottom assuming that it is
displayed upside-down.

Vent is on side opposite the decal, lest the decal cover it up. Decal
is on top.

Vent is on side opposite the decal, lest the decal cover it up. Decal
is on top.

If this is the case then their mounting holes are the reverse of everyone
else's. If you look closely at their picture you can see that the wider
distance between holes is on the top (decal side). To mount correctly
(according to everyone here) these holes have to be down making the decal
side the bottom. Anyway, the "Silencer® 410 ATX Dimensions Drawing" shows
the vents to be on the front (opposite end from the fan).
