How do these two compare

[octopus41092]

How do these two power supplies compare. The Xigmatek one has a $50 MIR so that makes it really tempting. Also, the Xigmatec one has a MTBF of over 120,000 whereas the Silverstone only has 100,000. Also, they're both 80 Plus so it shouldn't be that different right? Anyways, here are Newegg links. Which is better?

Xigmatek
Silverstone

Antec Earthwatts 650 is $50 no MIR.
Corsair TX650 is $70 AR.
Corsair HX520 is $70 AR.

Well first off, the TX650 and the Earthwatt aren't modular so those are out and the Corsair 520HX is only 520W and I'd like to get something that has more.

Then get the Corsair HX620. If this is for the system in your sig then the 520W is more then enough.

To answer your original question...since no one else is. IMO the Enhance built Silverstone is probably a better unit than the CWT built Xigmatek.

Although CWT is a good OEM, after reading Paul Johnson's review I am thinking Xigmatek maybe asked them to cut some corners.
