<snip>(Although Corsair is still my favorite PSU manufacturer)<snip> 

Just an FYI, Corsair does not manufacture any power supplies.  The good ones, they have, are made by Seasonic for them.  You can buy the same exact power supplies from Thermaltake (a few others as well) as well.  The only difference is the color of the case(s).

A convenient example of constructive counter pointing.

Instead of getting butt hurt because someone is correcting me, I will simply appreciate learning something I didn't know.

And even possibly save myself money in the future by purchasing from Seasonic and not paying for the Corsair branding.

Thanks.

Be careful.  Due to branding contracts, Seasonic may not actually sell the supply they make for Corsair/Thermaltake/OCZ/Antec....

However, Seasonic does make some very, very good power supplies.  They also make some very, very cheap power supplies.  Just do your homework and you should be fine.

As to censoring.  This is a privately owned bulletin board, opened to the public.  We have forum posting rules in every forum.  I let new people slide for a while, until it seems they might need to be bumped about the rules.  Bottomline is this:  It is our house.  We ask everyone to treat others with respect.  Doing so eliminates the possibility of being censored and makes this forum far more useful.

Check your PM's for more details.

Regardless of any technical expertise, real or perceived, if you cannot make a comment without making a derogatory/negative personal reference then this is probably not a good place for you.
