Sweet - perfect for a low power i2600 rig. So when, where and how much?

Just because it has a Platinum certificate doesn't mean it's always reliable. Huntkey has released some pretty shoddy PSU's in the past (probably due to bad OEMs)

Actually it's more like they are the shoddy OEM, they make their own units. that being said they can produce some pretty good units.

Too much for anyone to care really.
There are always better products for the price of such "quality" Huntkey units.

It has to be a pretty darn good PSU if it can get 80 Plus Platinum.
