Epower is associated with Tagan. Tagan makes OCZ's PowerStream power supplys and Tagan is to servers what Antec is to desktops... so they get my vote on that fact. Epower itself though - haven't owned a unit with that brand. Not sure if they overstate the specs, but the unit itself should be solid.

Might have something to do with EPower's PSU line called Tagan. Actually sold under the name Tagan alone normally, if Tagan didn't build em/was part of EPower, I think there'd have been a lawsuit a few years ago. Actually I first realized it when looking at PSU's and realized they used the same sleeving/fans/internal heatsink designs.

NZXT brand are also manufactured by Tagan I'm sure.

Thanks for the info, went and looked at the OCZ site and found a 700w psu that should work just fine, so I think I'll spend ( or the customer will spend ) the extra cash and get the proven PSU
