Um...I'd recommend Hiper, but I've used both a 350W and 420W version and they've BOTH failed on me (whilst still in warranty, thankfully)

Is there a reason no-one has mentioned the CWT PSUs at scan? Aren't Antec PSUs rebranded CWT units?

Both failed ? wow, thats not good.
Ive used quite a few and they've all been fine luckily.

Maybe they had a bad batch along the line.

Have to say I've found the two Enermax PSU's I bought 2 1/2 years ago to be very reliable, but I know others have had issues with them.....
One thing I would say, whatever you do decide on turn 'em off and take 'em out now and then and give them a good blow (ooo err ) with an airline. it's amazing how much crud collects inside and sands the PSU temps up
