Very cool article.

Made me check the "E' number on the UL page for my Cooler Master 700M.
Made by AcBel I guess, I have yet to use it. It only has two PCI-e 6x2 connectors (All that I need, if I was going with more than two video cards I would want more power anyway) This will handle a single 5770 anyway, more my style. It does have Japanese capacitors, but without removing the cover while in a store, how would you know their ratings? It seemed to have most of what I wanted and at $132 (Retail store) it was not cheap. It is a single +12V rail

I was surprised that the article did not discuss rails.

Depends on the nature of the damage but usually not worth repairing a PSU unless it is something simple like a blown fuse. Water will cause corrosion to the tracks and solder joints.
