how good are POWMAX supplies? I have never heard of them but the efficiency
ratings seem ok and price is good.

Hi Dave,
I never scrimp on a PS therefore I *always* use PC Power and Cooling power
supplies. Dvorak recommends them highly and Maximum PC always uses them in
their machines. They're expensive but well worth the price. Check them out
