I've been running rig in sig overclocked for over one year without problems. Antec 380true, I think it's user error and you guys are just noobs. Wake up!
 
Truepower 430 went bang and took the motherboard down with it. Pulled it apart recently to salvage mosfets and other crap and found it was actually quite well built. Only thing wrong was the caps - those that hadn't actually exploded were bulged more than any I have ever seen.

Rubbish.
 
The Antec Smartpower II uses Fuhjyyu caps that bulge in high-heat environment. This usually takes a year or two. Other then this it is a good supply, but you might as well replace it now.
