I'd say (tentatively, as my PSU knowledge is a bit shaky these days) that the Corsair is the pick of the bunch. ;)

I would say that you are in line with consensus then. I don't have much experience with them myself though. AFAIK after researching my own PSU and based on comments by members at the time, the AOpen PSU's are pretty high quality as well and would provide a viable option if they are cheaper than some competing brands. Not sure if they are though (got mine secondhand for R200 :) ).

Yeah Corsair PSUs are great. I'd suggest an Antec as well. My main rig is running an Antec PSU and it's a great piece of kit as well.
