I love the new Corsair 80 Plus Platinum power supplies, the Flextronic-built AX760i & AX860i, and now the Seasonic-built AX760 & AX860 (Seasonic units are lacking the Corsair Link Dashboard connector and cable). All are state of the art, and priced accordingly. Corsair's prices on their website are $200 & $220 for the regular flavor, $230 & $250 for the "i" versions. If that's not high enough for you, go to compusa.com, where you'll find each variety priced a solid $20 over the Corsair list price, which is already $20 higher than the same units with Seasonic branding. I could maybe understand a little "creative pricing" on the Flextronic units, since they are unique to Corsair for now (no Flextronic brand is sold retail), but the Seasonic units are being priced $40 higher just for the Corsair sticker! Not cool. CompUSA claims to have the lowest prices anywhere, online or local stores, same price. Seems like they've been caught trying to boost their holiday bottom line at the expense of the unwary, pressed-for-time shopper. Shame on you, TigerDirect/CompUSA/BestBuy/Systemax! I'm definitely displeased with this news, since CompUSA is my only local place to buy computer parts. I'm curious to see how this plays out...
