    Spoke to a guy once, he said they were great. Then again, he did work for them

    I don't have one, however many people praise them. I'd say you can't go wrong with that one.

    Hi again, I found the 400w version of the Akasa Pax Power PSU for £50Inc. VAT and Delivery. What do you make of those PSUs or the 460w version?

    Thanks.

    Akasa 460W PaxPower gets good reviews in Custom PC this month. Dunno about the lesser one.

    MORE POWER....get the best you can....it is the only thing you will use in multiple PC builds

    I was thinking about the Tagan but then I read that a few people have had them bang! Akasa seems good though and it's meant to be quite quiet and has 400W with dual 12v rails which is good I think .

    A recent intensive lab investigation (grand total of 472 tests) carried out by Custom PC, part of Dennis Publishing published in issue 015/ December 2004 has awarded the Tagan 480 as the No. 1 PSU with an overall score of 92% (95% stability, 95% features & 84% value). The Tagan fought off eleven other PSUs including Enermax, Antec, Akasa, AOpen and FSP. The Tagan 480 was honoured with Custom PC Approved and the Premium Grade award, James Goldbold, Deputy Editor of Custom PC who carried out the project gave Tagan 480 the verdict “The turbocharged 12V rail and upgrade flexibility make this the dream PSU”
