gold vs bronze - the savings on your electricity bill is so negligible you can't even quantify it properly.
and are you sure you can get the Silent Pro Gold 550W for RM 150?

oh say so la. RM 150 for that CM gold, if new I will go buy a few units already. Given the options you provided, I'd say CM gold.
