I just got the Corsair 750HX for $130 A/R: CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-750HX 750W ATX12V 2.3 / EP...
Amazingly, I'm already seeing one benefit... the system draw at the plug idle is down to 85w from a previous 140w with the Hiper. That's with basically no video card (a Matrox PCI.)

Overkill? I can't find any reviews on the 650, though plenty on the 750. Wondering if the 650HX is a good choice. Both have a 7 year P&L warrantee.
