I got an XClio Great Power 500W in one of my F@H systems: http://www.xclio.com/products/produc...0w.htm#details
It's got such amazing features as no hardwired ATX12V cable, a casing which didn't fully close fresh from the factory (the metal was twisted to get the screws in), a Fuhyyu primary cap and an amazing warranty which expired before I got this PSU passed down to me by a UK team mate. Second up is the Gigabyte Odin 500W in the other dedicated F@H system, which comes with a nifty extensible input socket. Basically the thing nearly comes off if you remove the power cord ![]() Only good thing I have to say about especially the XClio is that they run reasonably within spec and don't blow up (yet). So what's the worst PSU you are keeping around in active duty?

Im currently using a Rosewill 630W PSU in my Intel Dual Core rig. So far so good, considering the amount of power outs I had in the last year and recently.

I only have one PSU, an OCZ ModXStream-Pro 500W. So it's my best/worst unit right now.
I recently won a Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W (HEC OEM) unit and will be delivered soon; I'm still debating whether this is worse than my Sirfa-made OCZ MXSP 500W

A passively cooled Enhance 500W sample I got while working at BFG. Stupid SATA connectors have no +12V. Leave it to Enhance's QC (or lack of) to send out samples that aren't fully functioning.

Probably the Lite-On in my step-dad's PC that he refuses to let me replace with my EA430. But then, if my EA430 were in his machine I wouldn't be able to tinker with it as I do.

At this point all my "crap" PSUs are in computers that are taken out of service. There is a Chieftec 550W which only has a 30A 12V rail and bad voltage regulation that might see some service again though. It did actually do its job for a couple of years in a F@H rig without incident.

The worst I am currently using? A solytech sl-9600eps. Not that bad of a psu actually. Its just it was an 80plus sample and it has pretty short cables as well as all 16ga cables.
