I'm trying to decide between two power supplies:

I know the legendary performance and reliability of Fortron Source, actually that's what it'll be replacing (FSP350-60PN, and yes, I died a little inside too). It recently died/fried in my old setup (Gigabyte GA-7n400Pro, Mobile AthlonXP 1.8G, Radeon 9800 Pro, 1G DDR, WD250 SATA2.0,...) I'm looking to replace the whole set up with an EVGA 133-K8-NF41, AMD Athlon 64 3000+, and eVGA 256-P2-N547 Geforce 7600GS, and I'll need a good foundation (power) for my new system. I know well and love the reliability and performance of FSP, even though mine recently fried. On the other hand, the InWin is a little cheaper and rated a little higher, slightly higher advertised efficiency (>75%), and active PFC. Also Inwin psu's used to be rebadged FSPs from what I've heard, so I assume they know a good powersupply if they were shipping rebadged FSPs under their brand. It's a close call, please give me some impressions/suggestions. Thanks.

Inwin makes their own now... average at best. No replacement for a FSP unit.
