Zool,
Yes, that is true. But, considering all the current and past demands now
heaped on the PSU, I'd rather not roll the dice and penny-pinch.
Perhaps just me, but I've had superb service from PCP&C. My next psus
will be SeaSonic. I will watch what OCZ/PCP&C does to figure out
Who/What they are doing.
Never used an Antec psu. Grateful!
My nemesis is still Enermax. What a fiasco!
Best,
Duncan

Seasonic is good but relatively expensive.

I've had numerous Antec supplies die as well. Some of them erupted into a
shower of smoke and sparks, and others just dropped the +5v rail.
CWT (Channel Well Technology) was the OEM of Antec units during their
worst
phase. Supposedly CWT units are good now (Corsair switched to them after
their initial SeaSonic-based units did so well), but I'm still staying
the
hell away. I think Antec mostly uses Delta now.

No more Antec for me!
After a caps fiasco killed 2 supposedly "premium" PSU's that were used
< 12mo/ea.
They refused to give consideration that despite warranty being expired,
the units
clearly had manufacturing flaw vs. dying from old age and and the
replacement had sat
for almost a year before being put to work only to die <6mo later.
Of course when I opened the barely 6mo dead replacement unit, all the
popped caps
were a known crap hu-flung-dung brand. Dunno who OEM'd them for antec
but I stay away
on principal for getting burned!

I had some terrible reliability problems with various models of antec
PSU a couple of years ago, had several models all develop dead +12v
power for the cpu connector in a fairly short timeframe, and that kinda
put me off.
pretty much everything I've got or maintain has an Enermax or Corsair
unit in it, and I've had no trouble with them.
Also had good results from Tagan units.

Antec, Corsair and Enermax PSUs get a lot of rep from forums I'm on.
