Official XS Power Supply Ranking Phase I

You might want to break those tiers down more.

For example: Tagan (Topower) doesn't belong in the same group as Win-Tact built PCP&C and Etasis built Silverstones. But aren't as "bad" as Antec or Thermaltake.

A TurboCool and Silencer are two totally different animals, as is a Silverstone Element and Zeus. An Element isn't really all that different as a Strider except for the 80+ efficiency. So other than efficiency, they're really quite the same.

It's very complicated to do this right. That's why I took my ratethebrands list down. Don't let me discourage you. I Think it would be great to have a one stop list on the web, but you'll need more tiers.

You're right and the final list will end up with 5 Tiers...but just to get the whole preliminary list up there, you're going to have to bear with me with 3 Tiers for a few days.

ok

Hmm Im back again with my stupid questions :p
Which one would U choose, the FSP Epsilon 700W or the Tagan Dual Engine 600W? Noone is in stock @ the store Im going to shop from so there is no rush with the answers =)

The Epsilon 700w is on Newegg. It has the same internals as the OCZ Gamexstream 700w. IF you're going for lower price, the Tagan Dual Engine 600w is also a top notch PSU.

Either I would buy in an instant...the only thing that seperates them is price afaik.

Now if we turn our attention to Epsilon/Gamexstream 600w vs Dual Engine 600w, thats a tougher choice because both are really good PSUs and both are the most updated of the PSUs available today.
