Well, the marketing sounds great, but with all that buzz you'd think it would be 80+ certified, huh?

[tonyd223]

ditto

[Meizuman]

Kinda lowish wattage.. and +1 to the "why no 80+ certificate?"

[WarEagleAU]

I agree, should be 80 plus Bronze or Silver but kudos for the nice low price. I wonder with this now being released if they had time to get it tested.

i d get the 550 to power up my MOBO and CPU and disks and i d leave the 450 to power up my VGAs!!!
Great deal for 130 $ right?

I have a Thermaltake TR2 470W model and is powering FINE my rig:
PII 940BE oced to 3.6ghz
BIOSTAR TA790GX A2+
4gb ram Mushkin
radeon 5850
Asus Xonar audio card.
WDC 640AALS caviar black

Actually i powered an A64 4200+ oced to 3ghz and 2900xt with a Thermaltake Purepower 430W that died after 8 month.
In both cases i had no performance problems.For a decent Gaming rig a 60$ PSU is suficient.

Just back up your files and hold onto your receipts. If you don't mind going a couple months of the year without a computer there shouldn't be any problem.
