well, according to the link you gave, Enermax are also manafactured
there, and comments on the forum said that they are basicly junk.

In fact, what isn't manafactured in china or taiwan now?

well, I looked at a large amount of reviews that liked it, plus I have
used thermaltake psu's and fans in the past which have all appeared to
be a high quality and have performed well, with low noise and good
stability.

Plus from my understanding, thermaltake aren't known to make junk. Can
anyone else comment on this?
