Default Replace Power Supply Assistance Needed

I need to replace my power supply. The power supply that I need to
replace is a Power and cooling Turbo-Cool 510-SLI ATX12V 510W
continuous @50 degress C power supply. I would like to replace it
with a similar system. Any sugestions?

I have used PC Power and Cooling's power supplies for years and they are
good quality. The one I am using now is about 500W and I have had it for
over 3 years. Just be sure not to underestimate the power you need.

If you use the Advanced Search on Newegg, in the power supply section,
then "sort by Best Rating", you can find some supplies with good
reputations.

For example, some of the Corsair supplies have done pretty well.
Read a few hundred reviews, to get some feeling for how long
they hold up, how many DOAs and so on.

The site http://www.jonnyguru.com, has some reviews for power supplies,
where they sometimes open them up, to determine the internal
architecture. They also test with a power supply tester, and look
for ripple level and output voltage stability. So they do a bit
more than your average "yup, it sure is shiny" kind of review.

Why do you have to replace it? You realize, of course, that the 510-SLI
had a 7-year warranty, no?
