    I never had an Apevia PSU.
    I like:
    PC Power & Cooling
    Seasonic
    Silverstone

    I got a free Antec PSU in my rig right now. Seems to be doing fine.

    If I'm not mistaken, Apevia is a case manufacturer. If I were you, I would buy a psu from somebody that really specializes in psu's like pc power and cooling thermaltake (they don't specialize but they still make good stuff).

    ok thanks. i was just looking at some reviews and it seems like the 12v rails are a bit underpowered for my system anyway

    If you go with Thermaltake, make sure to buy the newer ones. If I am correct, they switched to a different and better PSU maker somewhat recently. I'm not sure about this though...

    Anyways, you can get a PSU from a company that doesn't specialize in it. Because some get good PSU's and just slap their brand name on it, like Corsair. Just read a few reviews and see what they got to say. Reading more than 3 would be great.

    i decided to switch to a thermaltake toughpower 750w. it was either this or the ocz gamestream, which was a bit overpriced for me. here is the link to the new power supply-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817153038

    A pretty good choice. What will you be powering by the way?

    You only need about 400W for that. check the post about the PSU calculator (really helped me). I'm running a Core 2 system with water cooling and an 8800GTX all on an Antec Neo HE 550W PSU.
