Well my brother has been using a HIPER psu for around 2 years now and hes a major overclocker and it hasn't died yet so I can't really say not to go with HIPER but I would say PC P&C gets my vote!

I don't know about Hiper, but I have been using a 700 watt Xclio for over a year in my sig rig and it powers everything I throw at with ease.

Ick....IMO I do not like Multi-Rail PSUs. I had my old OCZ GXS 700w with 4x18a rails.....died on me....OCZ sent me this EliteXstream 800w with 62a on a single rail.....

Nice, but still not modular, I don't mind spending a little more than 140 either.

Corsair 620HX - $135 After Mail in Rebate w/ Free Shipping.
You can probably get it cheaper at www.buy.com they usually have corsair power supplys there cheaper then newegg. Also if you don't have to go modular you could get a 750TX which are awesome aswell.

The GXS PSU dying has nothing to do with multirail. I can guarantee that.

The GXS were built on by FSP/Fortron and are lower quality than your new Impervio-built unit. Impervio makes server grade PSUs.

I believe if you check the ocn for sale forums someone is selling a fully modular silverstone decathalon 750w. If I hadn't already struck a deal for my HX620 then I certainly would have jumped on that deal. I believe he wants 125 for it.
