I recently took a look at a Foxconn motherboard that I used for a recent system build, I also needed a reliable power supply for it as well and choose an OCZ 600Watt StealthXStream PSU. I choose this PSU for two main reasons, quality and efficiency, since I know and trust OCZ products it was one of my first choices, but since the system would be running 24/7 at full load I was also looking for a way to possibly save a little money. So I choose this particular power supply because of the known quality, the fact that it is 'green' and also because it was relatively inexpensive compared to the others that were available at time of purchase.

I've had this power supply installed for almost two months now running 24 hours per day, 7 days a week at almost 100% load all the time and have not had one problem. Even at 100% load in conditions that are not the greatest, this power supply has remained stable and quiet working to keep the system up and running.
