The article also takes a look at environmental factors like noise levels and each power supply's impact on system temperatures. Think power supplies with like wattages are created equal? Think again."

  1. So what difference does a good power supply make? by jrockway · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Is there something that these power supplies contribute towards overall system stability that "cheap" ones don't? Are they really worth the money?

    The article was very good at measuring everything measurable about the power supplies, but didn't answer the question "Why would I want one of these?". So why would I?
