This is one of the very few websites that does legitimate testing of PSUs and loads them down to their full rated power rather than just 200-300W by using only a computer as the load. Never trust positive reviews that don't include watt or amp measurements. Thermaltakes vary in quality because they're made by more than one company. However I believe that their GamePower and ToughPower models are made by Fortron-Source, a very good company. Rosewill isn't that good but also not completely awful. OCZ and Corsair are very good because they're made by top manufacturers, Fortron-Source and Seasonic, respectively, except for some of OCZ's PC Power & Cooling models, which are Seasonic or Win- tact. Seasonic also makes some Antec models, including the Neos, Quattros, Trios, and Earthwatts. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

In other words, there is no magic brand to buy that really matters, unless talking about the higher end where they just more conservatively rate their products so it would be the equivalent of buying a similar price alternative in another name brand, not a similar wattage rating. Thermaltake is a parts relabler, and Rosewill is a house brand. With both you are looking at budget designs and will need to factor for this not just in capacity but longevity, towards the end of buying a little higher wattage rated unit in order to combat these factors... and yet, that puts their prices closer to what you need in the others so basically the answer is avoid low-end generics and buy based on what the normal market price would be for the capacity your system needs, THEN look for sale prices on those units you deem acceptible. At any given moment and any given budget the best PSU for someone not wanting to pay a premium would be the one that's on sale at that moment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
