Corsair vs SeaSonic vs Antec

[NewYorksFinest]

Which is the best? I like all of them, but I prefer SeaSonic.

None of them is best. Typically you can find Corsair and Antec units that are just as good as any Seasonic unit (and some even better, HCP Platinums are ridiculous).

They all vary from model to model and who makes them.

Seasonic doesn't vary in who makes them though. Seasonic makes all Seasonic units.

yep.

And they make a lot of Antecs, but Delta and a few others do also.

SeaSonic is an OEM, a brand, and a designer.

Corsair and Antec are brands and designers, but neither of them manufacture their power supplies. The various units in their line-up are manufactured (and sometimes designed) by other companies and branded for sale. SeaSonic is one of Corsair and Antec's OEM/design partners, so there is a good chance that a handful of units in the line-up of all three brands are identical!

At any rate, because of this, comparing the brands without specifying specific units or at least lines (ex. Corsair AX series vs. Antec HCP, fight!) isn't really a meaningful thing to do.

Here is a complex story, like in custom cooling video cards case, I would incline for Antec, that being "unloaded" by projecting the "inside" can focus in other details

And even after I had put the manufacturers list up ya went there.

I saw that you put up an OEM list, but I thought it might be useful to explain the whole situation to the OP in a little detail. It was intended to be supplementary rather than to steal your thunder

Corsair and Antec are designers only in the sense they specify features for cosmetic and financial reasons.
