One of the best for it's price.

I have just purchased a Corsair TX650W, very similar in design apart from 120mm fan, wattage and 2xPCI-E connectors. These PSU's are some of the best around, very stable and very quiet. In fact I have yet to read a negative review about any Corsair PSU and I've read a lot!. One thing you didn't mention (unless I missed it?), is that all Corsair PSU's have a 5 Year Warranty, which for me was a big plus.
Highly recommended and I will shortly be buying the TX750W for my next build. --------------------  Home: E8500 @ stock (mostly!) | Asus P5Q-E | 8GB G.Skill DDR2-1066 (5GB RamDrive) | ATI HD 4670 | DELL 24" 2408WFP | Lian Li PC-A17B | Corsair TX650 | XP Pro/Win 7 Work: HP xw4600 | Q9550 | 4GB DDR2-800 | Nvidia Quadro Nvs 290 | DELL 24" 2408WFP | DELL Vostro 1510 Laptop | XP Pro & Vista Business HTPC: AMD 64 X2 5000+ | GA MA78GM-S2H | 2GB Corsair DDR2-800 | ATI HD3200 | Corsair VX450 | XP Pro Test Bed: E2180 @ 2.6 | GA G31M-S2L | 2GB Kingston HyperX DDR2-800 | WD Raptor 36GB | Sharp 19" | Corsair VX450 | XP Home/Win 7 "If I knew where all the good songs came from, I'd go there more often" - Leonard Cohen |

When it gets worse, I'll send it back. It's a fairly common problem with these, in that the fan can get a bit noisy sometimes, but the warranty sorts that out

Both of the lower wattage models in each are built by Seasonic (VX450 and TX650), while the higher wattage models are built by CWT (VX550 and TX750). They are all good though.
