PSU buyers beware!

Make sure that you research your PSUs completely and check into the methods used by the reviewer sites you look at. Read this article completely through:

And the link they post within that article (or 'Why 99% of Power Supply Reviews Are Wrong'):

Nice read, always looking to pick up a few more facts on PSUs as they seem to be one of the more complicated parts in a computer.

I actually just read this just BEFORE seeing your post.  It was an interesting read.  Then I searched for my PSU and come to find out it's actually a Seasonic in disguise!  Woot!
