450w-500w PSU Battle Royal - You guys asked, "What about regular mid-range PSUs?" So we bought five power supplies and then tested them to see if they would do what they were advertised to do. A melting fiery mess proves you get what you pay for. 5 PSU enter, 1 PSU leave.

So what did we learn from doing this review? We found that, to be blunt, there is still a lot of trash being pawned off on consumers under the guise of quality products. Among the units reviewed today there were exaggerations, fabrications, false advertising, outright lies about component abilities, and most shockingly statements flouting the ATX12v specifications! These kinds of behaviors among well known companies in other parts of the computer industry are generally a thing of the past, but the power supply market as demonstrated today is still plagued by these kinds of problems.
