- Appropriate maximum wattage (2x the amount intended to be pulled)
- Efficiency (70%+)
- Power distribution between the +12V cord and the others
- Fans, and probably size
- Voltage stability (5% fluctuation on + voltages and 10% on -): How do I even measure its actual voltage, stick a voltmeter into the ATX12V plug?
- Over current protection: I don't even know the safety values for this, so I guess I won't bother
- Other protections: SCP, OVP together with OCP at least
Which is why you have to find a brand you trust, and rely on.
