PCP&C are by far the best...

any reason why you are looking at such a larger power supply? honestly unless you have dual quad core CPU's, tons of watt hungry GPU's and like 20 15k RPM hard drives a 1000w psu is probably going to be huge overkill

PC P&C PSUs have a 5 year warranty.

Don't get power supplies with a rebate from Antec if you want that money back. Their rebate processing company just filed for bankruptcy.

I'm running two seasonic 600watters in my two machines and I'm pretty pleased with them. Solid power supplies.

I really like the 750W corsair supply I bought a few months back and it has 4x8-pin pci-e connectors.

I've also had good luck with the thermaltake toughpower series supplies.

I've always had good results using Tagan power supplies. Have a look!
