This review probably won't speak to your uses for this item, but it will speak to the general bulletproofness of the Corsair. Sorry, I mean *BOMB*proof. I'll let the other 50 reviewers tell you about how this works in a computer, which I'm sure it excels at. I, on the other hand, needed at least 600 watts for a mobile DJ rig that was running off a gas generator, rolling around in 105 degree heat and nonstop dust storms. Please know, before we continue, that my conversion of the Corsair 1) voids the warranty and 2) is not entirely safe for the electrical newbie, so please don't go doing this unless you're comfortable handling live wires and have done your research on hacking ATX PSUs. I'll let you find that info on the internet and instead focus on the performance and reliability of the 750TX.
The environment this was in is knowing for destroying moving parts, devouring motors of all kinds, and generally ruining stuff in a hurry. It's the alkali flats you always see those car commercials filmed in the middle of nowhere, Nevada. Temps soar and the dust is so fine it gets into EVERYTHING. If you run a motor or any kind with a fan, the rule of thumb is to clean or replace the filter daily. It's hot and it's nasty.
The Corsair was literally buried in dust at times, baking in the sun, and it never stopped fanning itself (silently) or providing steady power. And we're talking hellishly dynamic loads here, too. Bass heavy music cranked to 11 will basically give you alternating zero to full loads. I blew up a lesser PSU doing this same thing before finding the Corsair ("melted, then popped" would be more accurate). This thing has gone for 20 hour stretches of this without a whimper. I blow fuses on the amps before this even gets warm. It's actually never gotten warm, other than being in the sun, which is also handled without a problem. Using indoors in regular temps is a walk in the park for it, so I've also converted it for use in home theater without an issue. It's provided enough power to blow fuses in the amps I'm using, which means it's peaked at around 1 kilowatt of power. Let me repeat that - it has delivered A FULL KILOWATT OF POWER, albeit briefly, and stayed in one piece. That's insane!!
Think of this like extreme conditions testing for something you'll never use in those conditions, like when they test helmets by smashing them with battering rams. Normal computer users out there will *not* have a reliability issue with this item, I promise. I can't imagine what the high level Corsairs could do - you could probably power a small town with them.
There is a newer model of this item:

UPDATE: it's 2019 and I'm still using this beast! Upgraded to a VEGA 64, 8700k, Z370 Gigabyte motherboard, and it just runs stable as I don't know what, overclocked my chip stable at 5.2GHz (Delidded). If it ever dies, I'll just get a newer model of this. Simply amazing.On full load I'm drawing 787 watts (includes my 2 LCD's and my router) per my UPS and I idle at 380 watts. Q6600 overclocked stable at 3495mhz so far, QuadFire 3870's (x2 3870x2's ASUS) overclocked, 4 hard drive raid 0 + 1, 500gb sata II drive, 2 DVD burners, and a floppy all in the Antec 1200 case. This PSU is very quiet, and so far so good it can handle everything I'm throwing at it. Plenty cord length for my tower of a case to hide the cables behind the mother board too.As an update, having used this power supply for 8 years now and it's been on 99% of that time, it's still kicking, never had 1 issue, and I'm a big gamer & overclocker.
