Rosewill HIVE 650W or Antec HCG-620M?

Thread Starter 
These two PSUs seem to be similar in terms of performance so I'm not sure which to go with. Prices are within a few dollars of each other so that's not a factor. I believe the HIVE is based on a newer platform compared to the Seasonic platform that the HCG is based on. Should I go with the HIVE because it's newer?

I say go with the Antec, simply because I see Antec as a more trustworthy name when it comes to PSUs as opposed to Rosewill. Not saying Rosewill's a bad company, but I've owned multiple Antec PSUs and they all did great. redface.gif

Pick the one you like most, there's rather similar performance wise, the Hive might come with a longer warranty (5 years IIRC).
