Am looking for a reliable cost effective ATX Power Supply.

While researching found "Who's Who In Power Supplies, 2011: Brands Vs.
Manufacturers"http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/power-supply-oem-manufacturer,291...

"Lack of protection circuits, low efficiency, and bad build quality
were major points of criticism." *Like most PC hardware seems
important to do your homework.

Hope the protection circuits work. Do not want an explosive or fire
problem so am especially interested in power supplies that have
survived catastrophic events.

Thanks

Some have had issues with Antec power supplies but I've had no
problems at all. The don't run 24/7, only when being used. II have 3
Earthwatts units that auto switch 120/240 and claim high efficiency.
Quad core Phenom II with 2 HDD normally run 110 Watts checked with a
Kill-a-Watt. I recommend them.
