Both Antec and Corsair have good power supples.  Both also have some
really bad ones.

For example: Antec Basiq 430 and 500 are great.  Antec Basiq 450 is
garbage.  Different manufacturer and completely different design on
the 450.

Other example: Corsair TX750, 850 and 1000 were great, the TX650 was crap
(and a totally different design by a different maker).  TX750M is just
OK, TX750 v2 is great.

So it really isn't that simple.

I go by www.hardwaresecrets.com's list of gold award power supplies.
That guy really seems to know what he is doing.
