Yes, you're right. But usually newer Channel Well high-end PSU are very good. I'm not saying it's worth buying the Xigmatek 850W though.Originally posted by: JEDIYoda

which still does not adress the quality issue.......not all PSU from the same OEM are created equal...

Zippy are server grade PSU's, they don't sell in Holland so I'm not to familiar with them. Here's a summary of a rather OLD zippy review: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modul...views&op=Story3&reid=4
"Zippy Emacs is known for rock solid server power supplies and has put out some of the best product on the market for over 13 years. But server power supplies aren't always appropriate for home machines as they tend to be loud and lack the connectors necessary to power high end PCI-e video cards and sometimes SATA drives with 15-pin connectors. It seems to me that the addition of a "gaming" series is going to be quite lucrative for Zippy."
Long story short, highly regarded PSU manufacturer, and I think all PSU's you can buy from them are ROCKsolid. Another highly regarded SERVER grade PSU manufacturer is Etasis, looks like newegg is out of stock of them, but 140$ for this PSU is VERY good value for money, http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817608006 or you can get the 850w version for 160$.
