    1st version I see 2 die on hand w/one taking the computer with it.
    I also seen 1 work well for a year then die off.
    4th one I know about is still working.

    One that took the computer out made it so the owner would not trust modular PSU's

    Public: Even if they were all 1 gen .. Wouldn't that make you worry about the companies Quality of Service.

    ^^^ you mean like why didnt they replace them? If so yea i agree, in my book their on the lever of hipro and athena power, but if i was given one for free i would probably use one.
