Conclusion
Overall the ET850 power supply from Sundial Micro performed extremely well. Stability in a power supply is directly proportional to the overclocking possibilities of your computer. The ET850's output not only fell within the +/- 5% range, it did so in half of that. Although it is not as aesthetically pleasing it is an 850 W power supply at around $159.99 (after a $30 rebate) newegg.com which is much cheaper than almost any power supply of comparative wattage. If you are interested in cheap stable power and don't care so much about the looks, this power supply is just for you. Sure it doesn't glow or have detachable connections, but it's quiet and it gets the job done very well.
