350W BESTPOWER (standard)
425W MaxSilent MS4 2xSata 20/24Pin 12cm PCI-X

MAXSILENT 525Watt 2xSata 20/24Pin

These are the only options on the site. Im not up on power supplies, i have never come across any problems with any particular brand myself.
I can always order better ones later on. I assume Corsair are decent ones.

awhir

only good psu they stock is the tangan im not shure about the bequites tho.....


maby if you just buy 2 cheap psu(bestpower) and then get a hyper which should be cheap and good.or get a croshair or season or tangan.

That is not the cost of the processor it is an upgrade price. (ie) when you go to the site and into pc systems and into intel there is base components selected like the cheapest processor, mb etc.. these prices are the extra price to upgrade from said base component to what you select.

Saruman

I did in fact warn people its an upgrade price for those who have not used them In fairness its even in your quote
Anyway i ordered yesterday. Slightly different but mostly the same. Better motherboards in this case.

I also got 2 copies of XP home. Was thinking of getting Vista but its just too unreliable for games right now and a complete resource hog.... even if both PC's can handle it (though the slower PC could do with another gig).
I believe its the first legit copy of windows i have ever bought Any others were either OEM that came with a machine or *cough* XP Corp

ahhhhhhhhh....

cheers lads, i missed the upgrade thingy, even if i did qoute it :rolleyes:
besides, i wouldn't have copped what it meant anyway.

back to my research.

Saruman

I mailed ankermann to ask them to upgrade the PSU on my system (expensive one) to the Be Quiet 420W they offer. Its an upgrade of €75 as opposed to €19.90 and it may be a lower wattage but its a much better quality PSU and is on the recommended list by other PC builders.

Saruman

Im sitting here after installing windows on my new PC. Dead impressed.. its so quiet!!
Anyway only thing is that my wifes one is getting a message that the power supply is not enough for her card. Thats odd because her 7900GS should run on a 400watt PSU and hers is 420watt. Although i have not actually opened it yet to check. Just in case they did not put it in. Unless her PSU does not have a PCIx16 power connector or something... hmm odd. Going to get new PSU's anyway so not very important.

I decided to go ahead with original order and just get new PSU later on to save time.

edit: just opened her case and indeed it is a 420 watt but no GPU connector. Found the adapter in the motherboard box so its grand now. They forgot to put it on it seems

sharkyy

I have also bought an Ankermann pc, best move ever, Its very quiet (or was untill i installed another fan ! ) looks good and works realy well. Just one question i have, what is the silver nob for at the top of the case next to the usb port? any ideas ?:D

deconduo

I didn't realise this was an old thread and was about to come in saying 'You paid €1500 for THAT?' :P

sharkyy

Just seen the date my self LOL i dont think anyone here will be around to answer my question now. By the way, i paid £300 for my PC from ankermann via amazon.:D

sharkyy, this thread is nearly four-and-a-half years old. Why on earth didn't you create a new thread to ask that question?
