Wondering about a power supply

I was wondering if these are good power supplies:

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...273332&CatId=0

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...874746&CatId=0

and which one is better?

I checked on this thread: http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.php?t=131195
"Notes:

- There is an ultra series of PSU's, which can be found here
These are NOT manufactured by Powmax, and are now very high end and reliable PSU's."
and it said that these are good power supplies, but I just want to make sure.

Honestly, skip them altogether and go with a proven brand, such as the ones in Blue on the good list. A power supply should not be a risk.

I agree with Alaron...forget about getting a Ultra PSU and look at other brands with a better track record. Antec, Enermax, Fortron Source, PC Power & Cooling, Seasonic, Sparkle Power and Zippy are all good quality brands. I prefer Fortron Source and Sparkle Power power supplies.
