My system:

Asus P5NSLI, Intel 6600 cpu, 2 gb RAM, GeForce 8800GT, 3 hard drives, 1 SATA DVD burner.

I have the following PSUs:
Earthwatts EA500 that came with my Sonata III (I do not see a "D" on the model number)

Corsair HX620W

OCZ StealthXStream

I'm going to sell 2 of these and keep 1. I suspect I know what the answer will be, but which one would you keep?

corsair hx620 easily. OCZ is FSP epsilon based, so group regulation and high voltage ripple @ higher loads. Earthwatts is similar build to corsair but cheaper caps put in it and lower specs of course.

It's a no-brainer:
Keep the Corsair, sell the others.

Oh as for the Earthwatts, is there 22A on each of the +12V rail? If so, then it's the Delta built unit. The Seasonic version has 17A on each of the +12V rail.

Thanks guys, just as I suspected! I will have to check for +12V rail amps... that will be good info to put in the ad. :)
