I dunno if you can say that all Antec power supplies have poor quality with that one incident... in fact, I have an Antec installed in my machine, which works great, while another computer in my apartment was an Enermax which has been flaky. Funny thing is, the Enermax has a higher wattage rating, yet performs worse on than the lower wattage rated Antec on a setup that requires much less power. Could be that I got a lemon from Enermax, while you got one form Antec.
