The PSU initially seems to use a Fortron / Zalman style single fan arrangement, but in actual fact it is a Dual fan unit. Rather than intaking at the bottom of the PSU as in Antec and Zalman PSUs, the Tagan draws air from the front, next to the cables. This should result in excellent airflow due to air constantly being drawn across the same axis.
In terms of specification, the Tagan is excellent, featuring 28A on the +3.3V and +12V rails, and 48A on the +5Vrail. Whilst the Enermax PSU features higher output currents, you are highly unlikely to ever need more than the Antec beating Tagan can provide.

In terms of connectivity, the Tagan is far better than the competition. Supporting every current major connectivity format, the Tagan is P4, Ahtlon 64, Opteron and most unusually Xeon EPS ready. The main loom can either be plugged into a Xeon board directly, or into an ATX connection via the included adaptor. 10 4 pin Molex connections are provided for your CD-ROM drives, hard drives etc, as well as the now normal dual floppy style mini-molex connectors. The Tagan is also SATA ready, and has two SATA connections as standard. The mandatory +12V auxiliary lead for P4s and the EPS auxiliary lead also make a welcome appearance.
