Went out and spent $85.00 on the Rocketfish 550 watt PSU. Heard that the main manufacturer is HuntKey.

Then i read this: http://www.techsupportforum.com/hard...hen-quits.html
It's actually 550W peak and 500W continuous. It was also rated at 25C, an unrealistically low temperature. We like to see them rated at 40-50C. However, I did some checking and it is an honest 500W unit: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/748/7 But it is not a 550W power supply. It appears Best Buy (who owns the Rocketfish brand) is now using CWT (a respectable manufacturer) to make their PSUs now, rather than Huntkey (one of the worst manufacturers; their own brand PSUs will blow up if pushed past 80% load). Not a great PSU, but decent. Best Buy did lose points in my eyes by selling it at its peak wattage, rather than continuous.
Thoughts??
