    That is a heck of a lot of work for this article and we appreciate it immensely! Between this article and the upcoming mid-range builders guide (I'm begging...please get it out asap) you have reaffirmed for me this is the #1 site.

    Thanks again.

    The breakdown of the cable connectors and the build quality descriptions were helpful. The power noise charts look useful as well.

    Copy that, one of the best PSU roundups around.

    We definitely appreciate the roundup. It addresses our needs as consumers. I wish you'd add more info about the Antec Earthwatts 430 though... it's one of the most popular PSUs on the forums here and always shows up for cheap in the hot deals section, often bundled with an Antec case. Wish you'd give us more details on its efficiency, ripple, and your overall take. I don't think you actually said anything about its performance at all. Thanks!

    Isn't there a Delta made version of the 430 as well?

    Yes which we didn't have.

    Here's the original review from a year ago. Even though I didn't mention it in the conclusion I think you have a great comparison with the respective graphics towards the end. :)

    Thanks for this article. I am one of those who does modest OCing and no SLI, and this article was pertinent for me.

    No temperatures at load? I would think that temps at 100% load for each unit shouldn't be too much. Just as a worst-case thing.
