We need a PSU guide on this forum!

seems tons people asking the same questions on PSU recommendations here. A guide/recommendation would be extremely beneficial and useful.

like this one on motherboards:

Maybe JonnyG can do this since his recommendations most of us trust to put our cash into.

We had one. It was a sticky for a month, went off topic and then disappeared.

that's too bad, I think many people are asking roughly the same questions, if we can have a nice recommendation guide, with some top recommendations for each wattage setups and some sample systems that would be served by that wattage class would probably take care of many commonly asked questions like what I need to get for a non-SLI-OCed-C2D system etc. Probably save people a lot of time, and the knowledgeable people can just update that list regularly to disseminate the most current recommendations instead of answering similar questions multiple times.

I wouldn't mind cutting and pasting all my FAQ type stuff over here from my forums. Hell... the FAQ I have in my forums is the one that I started here!

I've always found that most people that have a question to ask, skip the stickies anyway and just post a new thread.

I think a more indepth explanation of Electrical Engineering and Circuitry would be nice

great idea, I think you can probably start something like a FAQ maybe make a few recommendations in each wattage areas then supplement more stuff later as people see fit. Hey if you need someone to do some organizing/typing/grunge work, let me know, I can probably drop in a few hours to help this out. I think with the guide like this, it can be kept current as more PSU units surface. It can also dispense a ton of myth about PSU that most of us regular people has no clue. For instance, I always thought foxtron is top of the line, which in the past was pretty solid, until weeks ago I begin to find some so so reviews on them. And only after some research last year that I was able to find out Enhance makes some great PSU from Silverstone and sells them at a reasonable price etc.

that's one more reason why we need a FAQ/guide here =]
