Looking a bit like Enermax PSU's....I hope the rails are strong, if so, they don't look too bad of a PSU and may sell well so long as the price is right. :)

I agree. Enermax-like and very attractively styled. Hopefully they're beefy and reliable enough to compete.

We can all hope that...and that the price is very nice too; knowing HEC it will be. :)

Does an orange PSU or something like neon green strobe light in your computer makes you feel like a l33t hax0r?

Don't worry about him, his only reply in this thread was a simple troll.....not unusual though. :nutkick:


I like the PSU and the design of it...it screams "Enermax" and that's in my view is a good thing. :toast:

I agree, its a very good design, it's mostly grey with a nice touch of orange to make it stand out a bit.
