Yeah, online we all have unlimited budgets...

Are you sure the MA supply is new? I thought new ones like that were fairly expensive? Seem to remember reading a thread that Brandon of MA was posting in where this was asked but I don't recall Brandon providing an answer.

How would you describe the fan noise on those puppies? Continuous run, variable speed, etc? (I've found some server supplies to be rather obnoxious)

The fan noise is quite low. The fan I use in the garage makes more noise.

Check out my post Here on RCTech about this very same issue.

Don't buy a 46A Power Supply for $80 when you can build yourself a 100A for less then $40.
