worst poll ever, huge fail. They dont even all make PSU's and the best PSU makers arnt on there.
Diablotek FTW.
I insist on Diablotek, but in a pinch I can make do with an Allied, Deer, Rocketfish or Dynex PSU instead. Do you know if there are any good reasons for me to add Cougar and MAS to this exclusive list?
Magic purple smoke wins the day!
it's better if it catches fire rather than just smoking.
bonus points for catching other things on fire.
Silverstone should be on this list.
they don't make PSUs either....
Their PSUs are made by FSP, Enhance, Impervio, Seventeam and Etasis
The Antec PSU's failures were more due to design flaws than poor manufacturing. They used low temperature caps to save money, but used slow speed fans to reduce noise. The low speed fans increased the temperature in the unit, which in turn made the caps exceed their useful temperature range, which in turn caused the caps to fail resulting in a puff of black smoke.
Antec was new to the PSU business at the time, so mistakes like this were to be expected. It isn't surprising that they refocused on their design and have better quality now, since the failures of the past are a good motivator. It just sounds funny to me when I hear they have high quality PSU's, because the PSU's I used from them in the past had major problems. Logically it makes sense, but I still am gunshy about buying another Antec power supply.
I don't see corsair, silverstone, enermax, seasonic etc. there
poll fail.
