Also how do I get the polls to work?


Seasonic isn't popular? What rock have you been living under?

Antec is good for the money.
PC Power and Cooling is awesome if you have money.
Seasonic (missing?) is very good.
Fortron is good for the money.
AOpen is good (missing? Built by Fortron FSP)
Zalman is good (missing? Built by Fortron FSP)

Enermax is questionable. If the PSU is loaded to the maximum rating it will shut down (see: the linked article below.)

Tagan and Akasa are other good brands (rare)
OCZ is ok (Tagan designed)

A good PSU roundup (34 PSUs) is at Hexus

The basic aim of the testing was to take a whole bunch of the most popular power supplies on the market today and test them to their stated limits to see just what units would stand up to the torture. The HEXUS standpoint is that a power supply should do what it says on the box, as a sustained output power. If you see said box in a shop, you should be confident that the figure for power on the box can be obtained as a load power output. Advertising a peak output power does nobody any good, especially if the sustained output power isn't anywhere on the box or in the literature. What use is advertising to someone 500W or more, if the supply is capable of around half that under sustained load, often with poor rail regulation and lots of generated heat?

Like the THG stress test, Hexus uses some serious gear (actually it is the FSP Fortron Lab) to abuse the PSUs. Unlike most reviews, Hexus lets you know who provided the PSUs, and which ones are factory specials (ie. could be tweaked or hand-picked).

PC P&C, OCZ, Zippy, Enermax, Fortron/Sparkle, Antec.

Unlike some others, I have never had trouble with Antec PSUs. I will usually either get a OCZ or Enermax for the most part. Zippy is excellent, but they tend to be lighter on the features side of things like braided or shielded cables, and other little nice extras--but Zippy is very industrial quality, however. PC P&C is the absolute best PSU you can buy, but obviously you will get raped on price. Fortron/Sparkle (really both the same thing) are very good value build PSU's along with the Antecs.

I dont know, a Silencer 310 for $50 aint bad considering how rock solid it is and the fact that most basic computers consume little more that 240 watts under load.
