Which one have you? I have the colorline 440 at the bottom of that page, was looking at the 470 one near the top.

I have the blackline. Mine's a 430W one (so it's not there any more..or I'm wrong and it's the 420W one).

The colourline ones have an extra switch at the back which allows you to manually control the fan speed. They also have the coloured fans (at the time of purchase, I thought this was the only difference). Personally, I'm happy with the blackline. It was 10 euro cheaper. That's 3 pints in my local.

I've the colourline one (450W). The fan speed button and the blue lights are the only differences. Don't care about the lights personally but I got it for the fan speed controller (fast, slow, auto) which I've never ever used Go Blackline and save yourself a tenner.

Go for the Seasonic S12 500W.

It'll give you the juice you need, plus it has a PCI Express connector which will save you 2 standard connectors.

It has a system whereby the fan only activates when the temp reaches a certain limit so at night the fan doesn't run and the unit is silent. It's only while playing games that the almost silent fan kicks in.
