LED fans, adjustable rails, sleeved cables, modular capabilities, and mirror-finish polishes that rival a luxury BMW. All of these features that were unheard of three years ago have made current power supplies a popular commodity among the enthusiast crowd. Almost every popular power supply flooding the market has some kind of "bling" associated with it. Nowadays, consumers rely more on aesthetics rather than true quality. You know something's wrong when you hear a friend recommend to another friend at Fry's, "You should get this one... the sleeving prevents any electrical interference from occurring." However, what the majority of enthusiasts must understand is that the knowledge and research that goes into a quality PC component depends much on the certification of industry leading standards. Although manufacturers can't necessarily market their certifications, understanding that a company invests in them is much more important than any bling factor. Seasonic, a power supply manufacturer, is a perfect example of a company dedicated to quality before looks.
