yeah dont go with aspire, i have one EWW but its ok really, aspire is all about looks but not about the inside :shocked: while the other ones are all about whats inside and not about looks
Usally what PZero said holds true, if a power supply looks really nice, then its probably a horrible one on the inside, Except for OCZ and PC power and cooling, and the enermax liberty.
On occasion; my brother has an aspire 520w which looks really nice, and it preforms even better. I doubt the 200+ reviewers of the psu aren't saying it's a good psu if it wasn't; and more than half probably know what they're talking about (knowing volts/amps, etc.)
I still haven't been given a reason as to why you think the aspire or thermaltake psu's aren't as good as the fps, I think it's just preferance.
