1391981 2015-01-11 22:33:00 Never heard of any of those "brands" ... I guess that's a good thing :D Renegade (16270)
1391982 2015-01-11 22:43:00 Seen plenty of this brand in PC's :Auriga Power
Pretty sure these are sold in NZ as well :Aywun

Interesting website, definitely worth bookmarking

Yep.
Avoid the lot and buy quality.

(No8) "The power supply was also not able to make it up to 580W. It didn’t even make it to 530W. After a couple of minutes at 350W load it blew up, and the explosion was quite spectacular – one of the biggest I’ve seen for a while now."


But I thought he was a little hard on the Auriga (No7)
