    Still have to pay to get the version that will show you amperes. :( Still neat that they did that though. Not many people actually care about that, and it really is the most important part of PSU selection.

    Which reminds me. I had to replace my PSU recently. The ol' Enermax bit the dust. It wouldnt stay on for much more than 30 seconds, even without a load on it.

    After reading quite a bit, I found the Tagan ITZ series to fit my needs perfectly.

    I'm going to look into making our own PSU calculator.

    Figure one if you can that will do the amperes. Thats really still a very important factor in PSU selection.

    I get tired of seeing all these multiple rail 12v PSUs. I shouldnt have a to get a 1200 watt PSU to get 30 amps on a rail yanno. Besides, if you dont use a rail, that extra current is wasted and doesnt go anywhere.

    Otherwise. After some research I found these Tagan ITZ series, with a "turbo" switch. Its not for the fans, but it connects the multiple 12v rails into one large one which is exactly what I was looking for.

    Thanks to Tagan for making a PSU that wasnt outrageously priced, uses sound engineering principles, and performs damn well too boot.
