Don't buy antec, not if you wanna buy the bare minimum of power your system needs... burnt mine twice!

The Antec HCGs are made by Seasonic and are good units.

No, they're not. Spoken from experience. You just look at one the wrong way and it blows. Antec makes good cases but terrible power supplies.

Most of Antecs power supplies are made by Seasonic. Seasonic is one of the best in the business. Antec has some units made by Delta ,CWT, FSP and Enhance. The Delta units are good, the CWT units are suspect as CWT tends to be hit an miss quality wise. FSP and Enhance isn't bad most of the time. The Seasonic built Antec HCG 520m is alot higher quality than that CWT made CX600 you have in your signature. The CX series suffers from cheaper secondary caps with a short life span and high failure rate.

And yet it still lasted longer than 2 of my other power supplies... combined.
