Agree with everything but the PC P&C (price is bloated beyond reason, though not hard to reckon why), and the Modstreams (low end Topower, crap regulation).

I'm neither for nor against the Evostreams - they aren't out yet to form an opinion. I dearly hope 3Y's design doesn't suffer from the same issues the FSP Epsilons do, though I tend to doubt they will.

Dave, I'd add in the Enhance EN 0560, you know the same guts as the silverstone strider.

And the Aerocool 0DBa. only the lower wattage, i believe it's 520w. the 620 has the same output on the 12v.

Damnit, the price went up $20 in the past week.

I belive OCZ will soon discontinue the ModStreams.

The modded PC P&C is there as a reference, as the most expensive modular PSU available.

And I will be adding more PSU's, these were just the newest & most obvious.

This is the first update of the Modular PSU Guide in over a year, so it is just about a re-do.

Thank you for your input,
Dave

Other than that one retail site, where is it?

I can't find the specs or listing at Enhance.
