PC Peripherals Cool Master Next Best after Antec in PSU ?

[Shripad]

I know no-one is going to believe this but its true freinds:

I have a seventeam 250W PSU that i bought with my chenbro sr11 cabinet in mid 2004.
this 250 watt runs

1. E6300 on MSI p965 NEO
2. Sapphire X1900XT 512mb
3. 3x 320gb 7200.10 seagate HDD's + transcend 160gb External
4. 4x 120mm Antec Ball bearing fans
5. 2x DVD-RW (LG+Lite on)

& yes just to repeat, its a 250W from Mid 2004 time. Touchwood, never had a single PSU hitch till now. now beat that!!

Seventeam is a lil un-publicized brand, but definately a best one to catch. & pls don't try to relate it to anything like CM. If u even get a chance to weigh it with another 600W(CM etc.) in the same price range, u will know how it is. the build quality is robust.

@Darklord, yes sure bro! i'll let u know the exact model no. on monday. I have another freind in Kalkaji who has been doing seventeam from past 3 yrs. & i have been deploying it since then. I was a lil astonished when saini(SMC) showed he has "my fav" PSU's with him now so i can buy from him also.

as for the technical specs, all Seventeam 500W have dual 12v mostly same rating 18 ampere. same specs on all 3-4 models in the ATX 2.0 page if u check the off. site. Just to admit that im not a master at evaluating PSU's acc. to ratings so pls have a look at them & let me know if there is something SPECIFIC thats really good. Im sure i can procure them on order.

Why do you say dont relate Seventeam to CM??? The PSU from the looks of it is infact the seventeam oem. You may not wana relate it with CM but it is.
The fact is even this 600watt is top notch in built quality, solid and heavy.
The problem is, its not handling this system for some reason.
I am very well aware of ST quality and reputation and thats why i am baffled to see this happen.

About your system there is something definitely wrong there. The current generation ST cpu have 70% effeciency. God knows what it was in 2004. Even assuming it to be 70% the real output capacity and everything at stock, that still puts it over the 175watt power consumption. :S
