This is a nice explanation on efficiency levels and (at the end) even shows the amount of money you can save from using a more efficient power supply... I think power is cheaper in South Africa than in the States so you'd probably save less money but the price of electricity has been going up of late:

Cool link, and electricity is damn expensive these days.

Here's a nice place for benchmarks if you're interested in that kind of thing

well if you take all of that into consideration then the Be Quiet looks like the better option :rolleyes:

Im curious have you had bad experiences with the ones mentioned? what do you rate as best to worst brand wise for psu's?

When I get some time I'll do a thread on psu's :)
But yes in short that beQuiet is way ahead of the psu's mentioned.
