Are you completely set on having an LED power supply? They're quite limited, and the top brands tend not to have them. Don't let these guys daunt you. A good mid-quality PSU is still going to treat you well. Hell, I have a PowerMan or something power supply in a 4-year-old prebuilt computer that's still running. I had a hard drive in that system that I'm still using now for small-scale backup.

Rosewill has quite a few LED PSUs, and they're of decent quality. The Ultra isn't really that bad either. These guys have the exceptional performance mindset, which isn't a bad thing, but it doesn't seem like you're looking for top-notch.

The Hyper is mid ranged which is why I recommended it :D
 
the zalman heatpipe ones are pretty good an i *think* they have led's
 
yeh i think ill just look for a good psu, no LEDs bcos like neptune said, the good makes dont really do them and thanx for your Hiper info Tat, but I can't get them in the UK which is where i live :p
So Enermax or Seasonic are good makes? not Antec or OCZ...
 
Here's how I would rank those four:

1. Seasonic
2. Antec
3. OCZ
4. Enermax

I believe you are being quite generous to both OCZ and Antec. Their OEM parts are now worse than Enermax's.

The reason I didnt and wont recommend the Rosewill and the Ultra is bc you can get better for your money such as Hiper.
Def. worth looking at those.
Also, the X-Connects are def. not recommended since they use cheap parts.
If you are going Ultra, than go any other line of their PSUs (but I wouldnt recommend it).

Always a pleasure! It is pricey but it's their top model, look very tasty, performs excellently but google first to see if you can find the same model cheaper.
