Sparkle Power Supplies

What do you think of Sparkle power supplies?

Sparkle Psus ((as also used by Fortran and Aopen, among others) are excellent. Without a doubt one of the better PSUs available

Do they come with double fans (the internal air intake is what I'm looking for)?

Sparkle is one of the best PS manufacturer. They use high quality parts and the units are very reliable.

They are rated only good because of the PS fan is loud, a 80mm running at 3000+ rpm. Otherwise, they could be excellent. PC and Cooling used to re-brand the Sparkle as their own PS.

No!

I used a few of them under the Powerman label. No real complaints. I did have one that was unreliable, but it was defective from the start.

Personally, I like Antec better, but I wouldn't pass up on a Sparkle if the price was right or if that was all that was available.

So, you're telling me if I purchase an AOpen retail power supply, I'll find a power supply made by Sparkle in the box?? The Micro-Center sells retail versions of AOpen power supplies and the 300 watt one is enough to power the 1.4 GHz Athlon.
