I found this website that has reviews on several PUS's.
I don?t know how credible the site is, but is worth reading.
I found excellent review on Enermax (in terms of power and quietness).
Antec 350 sp has great review too. There is no mention of Fortron.
I have read couple of reviews on fortron @ other review sites but unfortunately not so great,
as some believe. It is good psu but not "superior" and "massive power"as has been stated by some members.
While I appreciate that you have put effort into supporting your point, you have not found what I would consider solid evidence. Most PC hardware sites do not benchmark PSUs properly; some simply don't have the right tools on hand, others (like PimpRig) measure voltage regulation with a DMM but then misinterpret the results (note their positive reviews of generic-ish units).

Bear in mind that I do not object to your point, only the logic behind it. DLeRium has raised a similar point about Fortron/FSP, but he has researched the subject and provided solid evidence for what he's saying.


PS: I have a BA from one of the best colleges in the country and my English was good enough to
get me thru. Not trying to show off by any means, but just for those who(have ridiculed my understanding of English) wanted to know.
My, aren't we defensive? As I have said several times now, I have never ridiculed your understanding of English, and I don't doubt that it's better than my second language. I have merely said that your grasp of English is clearly inadequate for participation in a continued argument, as demonstrated by your repeated misinterpretations of my posts (most notably that which led to you protesting the point that all manufacturers make a few duds). Your grasp of English would not be a huge problem in and of itself were it not for that you are also contentious and easily angered; these traits are undesirable in any forumgoer, and they are downright dangerous in one who frequently misinterprets others.

x2 3800+
2 gig ram
DFI mobo
XFX 7800Gt
One dvd burner
floppy
seagate 250Gb hdd

and I think thats it........ mabe....


How much money ya got to spend? PC P & C is where the moey is for 150% stability and rock stable rails. Expensive guys though.

Bang for the buck, you want to look at Antec, Seasonic, FSP/Sparkle and Enermax.

agreed. i built a computer about 7 years ago with a 250w pcp&p. it was rock solid, and never had an issue. still use that computer.
