Did you see the bold note at the end of the linked review which says that a previously tested PSU (apparently) from the same manufacturer "resulted to a catastrophic failure frying both the board and CPU"? Thanks for the link.

Antec and Enermax aren't really considered tier-1; usually a fairly good value though. PCP&C and Seasonic are higher quality, of course at a higher price.
QFT.
I went from a bfg psu with similar stats, dual rails, 18a,17a. Went to a single rail with 34amps and made a huge difference in stability. The dual rail on 6800gt sli locked up all the time.
As for positives, 120m fan should make this nice and quite. I woudlnt recommend this for use with dual vid cards.
Wrong. Dual 12v rails is not a good thing. I had a Thermaltake Purepower 680W with 15a / 15a on the 12v rails. It worked fine for my XFX 7800GT but when I put my X1900XTX in it all I got was beeps. ATI recommends 30a for a single X1900XTX and 38a for Crossfire.
I went down to CompUSA and searched through every PSU they had. The *only* one with 30a or better on the 12v rail was their brand - the MadDog 600W or something like that. It had 30a. Been running with it for 4-5 days with no issues.
