Enermax Liberty 620W:

Pros
Rock solid rails
Well cooled with honey comb grills and "Silent" 120mm fan
Looks awesome, the offsets with the black brilliantly
Lots of goodies

Cons
Cable braiding is a bit thick
A tad Expensive

Seasonic S12 600W:

Pros:
600w power
80% efficiency
Support for all the latest and upcoming technologies
SATA connectors
Solid manufacturing
PCIe VGA connectors (SLI Ready)
ATX/ATX12V/BTX/EPS
Dr. Cable kit
Quiet operation
EZ Grip molex
twisted wiring

Cons:
Mixed style SATA connectors
Only 6 molex connectors
A little pricey

Just love how you make the seasonic stand out by adding some extra pro's that i will add the Enermax has also, total fanboyism if i ever saw it.

The enermax cables are NOT too thick, and not STIFF either...... they also have most of the pro's the seasonic has, plus its own of course.

The liberty's are not audiable imo either.

In your opinion.
In spcr's opinion they are audible and the seasonics are significantly quieter. They generated their opinion from a dba metre rather than their ears.
I cant guage it for you, but all my non easycon psu's are inaudable and my 580w can only be heard if your ear is with a meter.
Last i heard those really high power tagans used 80mm fans and sound like jet engines. Plus its extreme overkill and designed for powering 2 dual core cpus and 4 graphics cards.

The pros and cons imo:

Seasonic pros:
-Near silence (source: spcr)
-High efficientcy
-Very high quality

Seasonic cons:
-I couldn't get hold of any form of tech support from them (not usually a prblem as they rarely go wrong)
-Not modular (no problem for me as i use all the cables)
-Shortage of molex connectors (addressed in the new revision)

Enermax pros:
-Cheaper
-Modular
-Good quality

Enermax cons:
-Noisy under high load (source: spcr)
-Not as efficient as the seasonic

So to me that looks like silence vs modular. You choose which matters most.
