I'm thinking of geting a Seasonic SS-650HT but it's $168 shipped from Newegg.

However, the 650W Thermaltake Toughpower 650W is $115 after rebate and has modular cables.

How reliable is Thermaltake Toughpower vs. Seasonic? I know with Seasonic I'm getting arguably the best PSU brand out there but if the Thermaltake is also good I'd save $53 going with that.
 
The Corsair 620W is $170 with a $10 rebate on black Friday from Newegg.
It's semi-modular and built on Seasonic's new M12 platform. Buy it!
It might Froogle for less.

I have a TT toughpower 750watt psu
Cant say anything bad about it, its silent, runs completely cool in the same config as my other superflower 500watt with a quicker 14cm fan used to get darn hot.
And the voltage regulation is really good, going from idle to fully load the voltage went from 12.07 to 12.08 volts (checked with a multimeter)

The system is the first one in sig, 6 HDDs, dozen LED fans etc
If the 650watt model is built similar to the 750 one it should be a good psu. (U will have to check this one out cause for instance the 550 watt model is older and actually crappy)
