It's just £8 more than the Antec and Zalman PSUs you listed, for a superior product.

how much is a 5 year warranty worth to you? out of those you've listed, id recommend the ocz modstream. id rather have the corsair though

TC1 · 6 Feb 2007 at 13:52

I have the Corsair and it is the best PSU i have owned so far. Quiet and rock solid. Modular too which makes for a tidy case! 5 Year warranty is a bonus!

hmmm you got me thinking now...are the cables braided etc

james.miller · 6 Feb 2007 at 14:01

*** main atx and 12v cables are, the rest are flat. makes it very easy to sort the cabling out in your pc.

that doesnt show the cabling, but its the same as the 620w but a few cables are not included with the 520w

i have the 520w ocz and have no complaints, nice and quiet too

I got the Antec in that list, I would recommend it. Very good PSU

Messiah Khan · 6 Feb 2007 at 16:28

And just to confuse you further, I have the Tagan on your list and its great. Nearly silent, good strong and stable rails and is generally a damn good PSU.
