And, why would Enermax, this great PSU maker, make a 470 watt PSU with only 6 molex connectors? Are you even gonna try to tell me that doesn't sound fucking retarded? People need 470 watt PSU's because they have a lot of shit to power up, right? Of course.
I'd like to know what model Redjake bought because I have a hard time believing that a PSU with a lower power rating came with more connectors. Maybe it's an older model, and their new ones suck fucking balls, which they do.

No, I don't "got it good." I think yours is broke if it won't power your system. Broke means a lot of things...it might mean it came with a lower voltage than marketed, it might mean that it has conflicts with your components. It's still stupid to say that all Enermax PSUs suck simply because yours didn't work right. You can't say it's working correctly because it didn't power the components you plugged in, hence me calling it "broke."
I'm sure you're totally aware that different components require different voltages, so maybe your PSU was designed for a server with 5 high-wattage hard drives and little else. Why else would it be 470w with 6 molex connectors?
You still shouldn't tell everyone to avoid Enermax and that their new ones "suck fucking balls" simply because there's an obvious issue with it. You could just say that you've had a bad experience with ONE PSU from Enermax, not that their entire product line and company is bad.

I'm an ultra cheap bastard so I tend to go with Raidmax cases because they're cheap as hell. I've currently got 5 boxes with raidmax p/s's in 'em, and they're all working fine, even on the main system which has a LOT of extra goodies on it. I won't say it's in the same league as a Sparkle, but for the average consumer, in my exp. anyway, the things aren't half bad.

I have nothing against POWMAX and RAIDMAX PSUs for the average user, but the average user simply doesn't have 4 hard drives and multiple disc drives. theburner's PC will have this, and I will argue to the death that a POWMAX or RAIDMAX PSU isn't the job for this.
My current PC has 1 HDD, 1 CD-RW, and a floppy. Guess which PSU I'm using? Yep, a RAIDMAX. They aren't bad for average users, but if you're gonna have all of those components, I have to go completely against using a generic PSU. I've seen too many of them blow up, stop working, start buzzing, blow transistors or resistors, and have capacitors fuck over simply because they're not made for high wattages. They're the Geo Metros of the computer industry. Great cars for 1 or 2 people that drive a lot, but if you have a 10 person family, you're gonna need a bigger car.
