Jeremy at JonnyGuru.com did this mellifluous review of a cheap "1050W" PSU from Diablotek and it's entertaining as well as informative of the dangers of buying PSU's "on the cheap".
I have seen this brand of PSU being bandied about by several TS members so I thought I would post this and maybe keep someones new build from "going Leeky" ...if you know what I'm saying. :)

From the review:
I hear you asking in demanding voices which 12 volt rail goes where.
Well, good folks, I didn't say for a reason - the unit doesn't care.
With no way to tell by the wires themselves from which 12 volt line they hail,
I opened it up and saw that in truth this supply only has the one rail.

The balance of the review can be had here:
