CWT are more budget versions of the antec. Corners are cut mainly in asphetics (sp?) but also the -5v rail is not included (not really needed anyway..anything that used to use it can use -12 instead).
CWTs however, are not the best psu for overclockers, because the 12v rail is not split into two seperate rails (one for cpu only using p4 connector, other for hdd's andstuff).
Apart from that its quite good.. but also its VERYmessy inside... no space for anything... but it is resonably quiet..
I would get one for your normal above average gaming system.. not for big overclocking though...
They shouldnt die, they have all the safety features and as-good components as antec afaik.
I would suggest not to buy from scan if these aint instock.. Pre-ordering with them can be a pita.
Also they might be branded "medion" oin the scan site.. I think thats the company onthe box.. which I think owns CWT...
