Are PC Power and Cooling PSUs good?

I've had them recommended by someone over even the Antec Truepower. I was all set to get the Truepower EPS12V but can't seem to find that particular version for sale. Tried getting it directly but they are out of stock and won't get any in until next week Monday at the earliest.

So, since I'd not heard of PCP&C before I'd like to heard some feedback. I already know the Antec's are good so how about these?

they're <i>ok</i> but nothing great, i would wait for the Antec, or just grab an Enermax (they're well-priced, very reliable and quiet)

:) Well, not wanting to wait is what caused me to get that cheapo power supply. So waiting is not one of my strong points. But I learned to wait a bit but waiting for a week just for it to possibly get in and then waiting for another 3 or so days makes me itch.

But I'm still waiting on replies. I've gotten two others in another forum that say they are pretty good and I was given a review on em. They seem top notch.

Thanks. I'm not overclocking but I can get the PCP&P for about $30 more than the Antec. Not to mention I can't seem to find someone online or local who has the EPS12V version of the Truepower 550 in stock. If you know of one then let me know.

Heck I don't even know if PCP&P has their Turbo-Cool 510 XE in stock or not. Well looks like either will be a good buy so I'll search for them both and get what I can.

You like PC Power & Cooling power supplies? Great! You see, they don't make their own, they use Fortron/Source PowerMan (aka FPS group) units! These are also sold under the brand names Sparkle, Aopen, and Power Man (look for FPS part numbers on the supplies).

Yes, I've been pushing Power Man supplies for YEARS.
