where are my stars???

Omitted PC Power & Cooling because, according to many experience & comments, they rarely fail.
Excluded other brands (like Corsair and Mushkin) because they are too new to collect a large number of votes.
Excluded others simply because didn't think they were as popular.

no psu has ever failed me so far... not even cap ayam ones. i guess they're afraid of me.
just that the cap ayam ones have poor rails (AVF, no name)

Voted for thermaltake Used 3 months and it's dead because of no reason. Used a 600watts true powered Thermaltake PSU, in a Pentium 4 with little hardware, and it's dead because of no reason, i didn't even overclock the processor, and seriously, using it an a very low spec pc, why should it be dead? Thermaltake Sucks...

Wow, seems like iCute has the highest failure. My iCute failed after a year, just right after the warranty period.  I never failed to meet the deadline, I was rushing like mad to finish up my assignments during my college years and didn't expect the PSU to konk like that and it was strictly for my college work, I never used my rig for gaming purposes or neither did I overclock it. Very weird and I even used a PK Automatic Voltage Regulator. Hai ......  So, no more iCute from now onwards, I rather go for Thermaltake or Cooler Master PSUs.

I have a feeling that people just voted icute because of the brand not because it failed them / also a majority issue. Used chapalang brand to OC to 2.4GHz for a few months but upgraded to FSP because of unstable rails.
