Brand?

Also, the label on the power supply has a label that indicates the amps for different voltages. How many amps are on the 12V rail?

I would recommend you get a different power supply.

If you watch www.newegg.com, they usually have a 420 or 430W Thermaltake for $35-40 shipped, but for some reason they jacked the price up and added $7 shipping right now. They often have the Thermaltake 480W for $55 shipped, but again, they slapped on $7 shipping now.
