Better built, better backed power supplies

[japlytic]

Years ago, Mitsubishi Motors started their "better built, better backed" campaign with a 5 year new car warranty and a 10 year/160,000km powertrain warranty (if that is correct).

There are some power supplies which are better built, but not better backed.
But there are some which are better backed.
An example is the Corsair TX750W. It was better built (with Japanese electrolytics; most, if not all, were Nippon Chemi-Con) and better backed with a 5 year warranty.

Do you know of any manufacturers of computer power supplies that are better built and better backed? Links are also welcome, especially to ads advertising quality in their power supplies.

Re: Better built, better backed power supplies

look a few inches above. Antec gives a 5year warranty on their high end series (TPQ (Enhance-built), CP and Signature (both Delta)).
the CP series seem to use a mix of cap brands, but the other two look flawless.
Antec being Antec and their marketing BS and gimmicks not taken into consideration, those units seem pretty solid and they have a 5-year warranty, too.
not that i'd buy one for me, though.

PC Power and Cooling backs most of their stuff with 5 years. A few units are only 3 years, and some are 7.

They cost more, but the one time I got had a confirmed DOA they just took my word for it. I sent it off to them and they got a new one in the mail pretty fast.

Too bad pc power and coolings future is pretty uncertain right now with the OCZ takeover. Some are saying they may wind up using the same sub-par Sirfa OEM OCZ uses.
