Seasonic is good but relatively expensive.

I've had numerous Antec supplies die as well. Some of them erupted

shower of smoke and sparks, and others just dropped the +5v rail.
CWT (Channel Well Technology) was the OEM of Antec units during
their worst
phase. Supposedly CWT units are good now (Corsair switched to them
after
their initial SeaSonic-based units did so well), but I'm still
staying the
hell away. I think Antec mostly uses Delta now.

No more Antec for me!
After a caps fiasco killed 2 supposedly "premium" PSU's that were
used
< 12mo/ea.
They refused to give consideration that despite warranty being
expired,
the units
clearly had manufacturing flaw vs. dying from old age and and the
replacement had sat
for almost a year before being put to work only to die <6mo later.
Of course when I opened the barely 6mo dead replacement unit, all the
popped caps
were a known crap hu-flung-dung brand. Dunno who OEM'd them for antec
but I stay away
on principal for getting burned!

I had some terrible reliability problems with various models of
antec
PSU a couple of years ago, had several models all develop dead +12v
power for the cpu connector in a fairly short timeframe, and that
kinda
put me off.
pretty much everything I've got or maintain has an Enermax or
Corsair
unit in it, and I've had no trouble with them.
Also had good results from Tagan units.
