my second ST60F is dead, newegg has offered me a refund, of course i took it. just wondering what PSU i should get now, modular is prefered, and above 500W. i have looked @ the psu reviews h/e just wanted everyones opinion.

Go for one of the OCZs IMO, not modular but price/performance wise theyre the king.

2nd one ? Another ST60F ? I`m supprized. These things can happen tho, especially if both came from the same source. Bad batch etc. (some would call that shoddy)

Seasonic M12?

It could actually be your electricity supply, you may need to invest in some sort of surge protector. I'd prob go for a UPS though as they offer better results.

That would seem to be one of the cream psus for him to chose for around 600w. I would only suggest the one that`s failed 2ce for him already .... >.<

I`d also read what nathan has posted seriously too.

i do have a surge protector, paid 50 dollars for it h/e it was bought at wal-mart so dont know how good it really is.

I'd chose the Corsair HX over the Seasonic. They are essentially the same PSU but I found the modular system on the Corsair to be slightly more robust.

I think mains power testers are still quite expensive.

For power protection go for Belkin. Great products
