Memory and PSU expert Corsair has launched today a free online survey, seeking for information from us. The company is looking to release a power supply that will have all the features we want, and for that matter is launching a survey to collect all the information needed. To get a better idea of what the customer really wants in a power supply, Corsair's online survey asks ten simple questions. No registration is needed, only a couple of minutes from your time and maybe one day you'll see "your" PSU, the way you imagined it. If you want, feel free to participate in the survey here.

There are two that you have to answer by ranking the categories. I messed up there and had to re-rank them before submitting.

Also most PC Power and Cooling's are rebagged Seasonics, along with Corsair, so they have similar features such as single rails.

you were supposed to rate them by importance 1-5 so 5 choices on a scale of 1-5 which is most important which is least

Thanks for the enlightenment. What I meant was, when you select your choice for a question and then do the same for the next, it removes your choice from the previous question (unless you select NA, eg. select "4" for a question, and select "4" again for the next question and see).

yea you can only rate 5 things on the 1-5 scale once

like cables->connectors->ripple->etc

your rating them from most important to least

Kind of hard to do a 5 on 1 thing and scale it down with 10 questions. To me, alot of that is important and some not so. Id like to give a 5 to a couple of choices and a 1 to a couple as well.
