Are Thermaltake power supplies a joke

[simon11]

After researching a power supply for several weeks to run two 8800 gtx cards I decided on the Thermaltake 1000w. It had great reviews and two seperate rails for the video cards at 36amps each rail and two 20amp rails for other stuff. Wow I thought this will last a lifetime.
Eagerly I awaited the arrival over the weekend. Exitedly put it in the case and switched on. Windows booted and there I was new power supply. My first task was to boot up some software to see what the voltages on the rails were. Before I could do this the computer shut down never to light up with this power supply again. It had lasted a couple of minutes. I bundled it up and spent £20.00 to send it back where it was confirmed faulty.
What a joke!!
I now have no faith to buy another power supply. If this can't run five minutes what chance have the others with 18amp rails. I may now stick with one card and the power supply I have. At least it works.

Thumbs down to Thermaltake for not testing the cr*p before it leaves the factoty!!!
