    I'll just go quietly, whispering 'Corsair, Corsair' over and over as I go.

    AS it happens, the PC P&C units are very good yes. For the price you pay though, the Corsair 620W is every bit as good.

    The PC P&C units are also VERY loud.......i had one last year and flogged it and bought my Liberty. The noise was incredible when at full pelt
    (Was an excellent unit though).

    Wow, well thank you all for you input and help guys! After much decision making and forum reading I decided to just go for the Corsair PSU in the end. Im hoping that will keep me going for a while and if not Ill then have to think about an upgrade.

    Thanks to all that posted. Has been great help

    Honestly though, whether tagans are any good or not is besides the point.

    Corsairs are the best out of all...not just the two you chose.
    Got to agree 100% here.... Had a Tagan and was great, but the Corsairs are the best available price/performance wise and with a 5 year warranty you'd be mad not to
