At the moment, I'd have to say Seasonic.
At least until Antec fixes the problems with the fan in the TP2.0.

OCZ, Antec, Eremax and Seasonic are good quality or not.

Those are all very good as is FSP (Forton) any of those 5 companies will leave you very happy.

Antec and then Enermax, they are the most trusted by the general techie crowd (read: non-elite)

I really do not think there is any question that Antec's are the best selling power supply's...Especially in the build your own box crowd.

PC Power & Cooling are the best power supply's that I have ever owned...But I dont think that makes them the most popular.

I feel Fortron are easily the best bang for the buck supply's out there...Second place with way...And I mean way back there.

Gotta give Antec props...They are very agressive selling and updating their products...Be it cases or power supply's.

In my humble opinion of course.

I'm about to buy an Antec TP 2. What are the problems with the fan?

The fan does not push enough air through the supply to keep it cool.

The TPII's need a high pressure fan...One that can push air through the supply...The chosen fan will allow the supply to heat up unless you leave the case open or leave it outside the case.

The guy who started the thread has built literally thousands of computers and really knows his stuff backwards and fowards...Very well spoken and leaves no stone unturned with any piece of hardware that comes through his hands...Would not suprise me if he is working with Antec to fix the fan and mounting issues associated with the TPII's.

Intresting read if you have the time...Informative for sure.
