Best modular powersupply

What is the best modular power supply in your opinion? Right now I'm thinking about getting a OCZ modstream 520w but im not sure if there are any better ones that arent too expensive. Any suggestions?

I've had great luck with my Hiper. The OCZ is a good PSU but I don't care for the connectors. I had the same problem with an Ultra PSU, the cables can get knocked loose. That won't happen with the Hiper.

yeah the OCZ is nice but i didnt like the connectors either, my ultra doesnt have that problem, but like akita said the hyper is SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET, its SLI certified also so you know the rails are rock solid.

Check out the e-power Tiger, its also a 550 and is made with the same internals as the OCZ from what I understand. Anandtech rated it better than the top Emermax PSU, look at the review.

I just found this one the Silverstone Strider ST60F. It looks really nice but is pretty expensive

It does look Pimp, but the reviews are definately iffy. Check this one out. Its the PSU that BA mentioned. Weve also got a review of this product here at Pimprig which can be found HERE

I have one thats been in use for 2 months now with zero problems, I just hope they keep making them for the changing technology, whenever it comes.

I can't validate if the guts are the same as the OCZ, but it was a nice bit of hardware. Check out my review:

If I had to buy one now I'd buy an Enermax Liberty PSU.... It's nothing fancy (looks) but it is very stable
and, very important, higly efficient & very quiet....

I would give my recommendation to the Antec NeoHE series. I'm using the 550W model, and it works excellent. I've always been a fan of Antec, becuase with them, it's just plug it and forget it! I've never had one die on me!
