Power supplies have moved from the ugly box in the computer that no one paid any attention to, to the heart and soul of modern enthusiast systems. There are a lot of power supplies out there marketed as high-end enthusiast power supplies and are little more than cheap and not worth using in nice looking housings.

So how do you pick from the vast selection of Power Supplies out there without getting a fancy housing and rotten guts? In todays market you have to know your Power Supplies, the OEM manufacturer behind them if they use an OEM, and rely on past performance, word of mouth, and testing done on the PSU.

Today at Bjorn3D we have a Thermaltake Toughpower 1000 Watt Cable Management (modular) power supply to test. Given Thermaltake's past performance in the power supply area and their OEM Channel Well Technologies who manufactures this line for them, we should have a winner on our hands.
