    I have a CoolMax CW-650t powering my Phenom II X3 710(overclocked), M3A79-T Deluxe, PowerColor Radeon 4890(overclocked), HDD, dvd burner and 6 led fans. I haven't had any problem with it since i bought it one and a half years ago. But stil i would like to go for a 750W-850W from corsair or thermaltake.

    Main PC has a Kingwin 750w, one Dell has a PC Power&Cooling 500w, other 2 Dells have stock PS. All have performed fine up to this point.

    I have just upgraded to an Antec True Power Quattro 1000, which surprisingly is the same size as the PC Power & Cooling 610w it replaced : /

    Just ordered a 950W Corsair for my new high end system.
  17. Antec CP-850. Great PSU very happy with it

    I've used a Corsair TX650W in my first two builds and I couldn't be happier. One is powering a Phenom II 710 with a HD4770 (over kill, I know) and the other is powering a Phenom II 945 and GTX 260.
  19. I've got you all beat... 220 watt PSU in my one home-built HTPC.
  20. I use a 750W Corsair. Corsair is my number 1, but a recent SSD experience left a sour taste in my mouth... Anyone with a Force SSD knows what I mean probably.

    Other than that, I stick to Seasonic, PC Power/Cooling, Antec, and XFX (rebranded PC Power/Cooling).
