    Haha..so i will then

    The Corsairs are THE BEST PSUs on the market today for under &#163;100 <<-----No question.

    Most stable.
    Best Ratings
    Solid Rails
    5 year warranty
    Very Quiet
    Modular

    The Tagans are OK but they arent a patch on these im afraid......

    If you can give me facts to sway my opinion then post away as i could be wrong


    Like you siad though...yours is a personal opinion.
    Personally i would rather use an Antec/Enermax/Corsair/Seasonic/Silverstoine in front of the Tagans.

    I used to think very highly of the Antecs until I read Jonny Gurus comments in the following thread.

    Really? Shock, Horror, Gasp - I didn't know that.

    But he does provide links to backup his claims?

    Edit: I do know about TomsHardware so take their opinion with a pinch of salt.

    I never knew tomshareware were paid, that's a bit libellous!

    I just think they have some great ideas for reviews/articles, unfortunately ruined by really poor implementation/jumping to bizarre conclusions.
