It's time for me to upgrade by PSYCHOI3OY2007-07-03 00:46:35
  Another IMPORTANT note I forgot: by jaqie 2007-07-03 02:09:29
You really should read this thread carefully before buying another PSU or doing a major upgrade to your system.

In short, most PSUs slowly kill off all your other parts through horrible power, and those that don't could fry every piece quickly through a random failure. Kingston did a study a while back, I dont remember the link, but their results found that 80% of their RMA'd ram was the result of bad power from crap PSUs frying the ram. 80%!

Anyways, once that thread rightfully scares the S#$^ out of you, then check out these brands of PSU:

PC Power & Cooling
Fortron Source Products (FSP)
Sparkle LTD
Zippy
Emacs
(and many more that are made by FSP and rebranded, google your choice to find out who makes that particular model - some time is required, most POWER MAN are however, which is the OEM PSU inside every in-win case I have purchased in the last year)
