Question for all you pros out there.

In general, I have been steering people away from the Ultra brand, specifically their PSUs.

My main reason is based on an article which for the most part many people have taken as the PSU bible.

I just want to see what some others think, as I have not myself tested their PSUs and I would hate to be steering people away from Ultra based on mis-information.

Here is the link that says Ultra are NOT recommended psus. They are accused of making low quality PSUs that are dangerous to one's system (basically).
