Again, PCP&C does not make real server grade or mission critical grade power supplies. Show me a single redundant design or even 1U design they currently produce and I might take that back. The fact that it is "for a Xeon" means absolutely nothing--Xeons are used in many moderate to high-end workstations. Notice the name--"PC" Power & Cooling. > > However, would feel the same way about purchasing any of their products, > we would be talking hundreds of dollars difference, not thousands, and the > price difference is worth the peace of mind to me. > > I am sure your recommendation is an excellent product, but I am guessing > that few people on the lists have heard of it, and I am also guessing that > it does not have 20 years of unquestioned performance, and reliability history. > You're right, they have 26 years. It is only recently that they decided to enter the retail channel. Again, PCP&C makes probably the best workstation-class PSU on the market. I just feel they try to make themselves out to be more than they are, and charge too much doing it...a lot like Plextor.
