Tagan PSU's

Hi guys... I'm looking at the (currently very cheap) Tagan Super Rock 680w.
I was wondering what Tagans reputation is like... are these sturdy PSU's?
Reliable?

Overal good but can be very mixed bag when high end product model has this kind of total lack of build quality:

Being honest i am not a fan of tagan i have found them to be a little unreliable and not a brand i would consider. Around the same sort of price and a better unit all in all i think would be this one http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-031-OC&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1098 obviously if you can afford to go a bit higher with your budget you'll get better but personally i would stay clear of tagan.

Uh, had 2 Tagan PSU's and neither have failed. and that's over a period of 5 years.

My 530W Modular one currently runs a GTX 280, E6600 @ 3.6 ghz, 5 HDD's.... with no faults.

I had the same 480W Tagan PSU in my last 3 PC's
I had it running pretty much 24/7 over 5 years (F@H) & never let me down.
Sold it recently for £30. I only paid £48 for it new, 5 years earlier !!

I've recommended them to others in the past, although you'll always get some people prefer to pay £150 for a so called better item.

These are some nice things to know as my friend is planning to buy oner soon as they are so cheap, hopefully everything will be ok with it, because else I don't think he'd be impressed.
