    I saw the PSU's at CTS2004, they're new to the market and I'm not too sure whether anyone has tested them yet as such... review wise. ;)

    Yeh ill second that for the Tagan. Tons of glowing reviews and a proven solid and stable PSU. Totally happy with mine. Just paired it with a new NF7-S mobo, tweaked the voltages a bit and the they're are all spot-on with hardly any fluctuation at all.

    As for Akasa, it seems to be their first proper stab at a PSU, so i'd wait for a shedload of good reviews ('specially one from here ;)) before i parted with the cash.

    The Tagan is well worth the dough. The only little niggle is the amount of cabling that spews forth from it. If you've got plenty of room at the far end of yr case (next to the mobo, and behind the CDROM and HDD racks) you should be able to cable-tie it out of the way without any problems.

    I find the cabling just right actually, its the 1st time i havent had to use splitters, just use the velcro ties provided.
