Hmm, pretty much all Huntkey PSUs I've seen proper reviews of have blown up before reaching their rated power, I wonder if these will do any better?

I highly doubt it.

The last one I read it blew up and took the fuses of the load tester with it - imagine what that would to to a PC! http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/937

Last cheap PSU I used also blew the 13A mains fuse when it went up. 13A at 230V is quite a lot of power, and when you consider the unit was only on for 10 seconds before I pulled the plug, it was likely to be far more than 13A to blow the fuse that quick. Casualties were one of the 4 HDDs, one of the 3 sticks of RAM (the other two have since failed but they were cheap and nasty anyway), the floppy drive and the long-term stability of the motherboard. Fortunately the two newly added HDDs that caused the PSU to fail survived (one of them is still in use right now, and this happened back in October 2005) as did the £300 X800!
