Eh, PC Power & Cooling is ok, but keep in mind they don't really make
their own power supplies either.  They just choose the good OEMs
(Seasonic, Etasis, or Zippy, typically) and don't choose crappy OEMs. 
They're not always the best bang for the buck, though (I think the Corsair
HX620W for $110 after rebate is a better deal than what you can get from
PC Power & Cooling considering how conservatively rated the Corsair is in
terms of it's performance capacity).  PC Power & Cooling was recently
aquired by OCZ, btw.
