If it were Gold Efficiency, I might see the need for 199.99 but seeing as its not, you can get just as good 850W Psu's for a tad less.

Hmmm, price is a little high for my liking, don't get me wrong, Corsair PSUs are great, but I only want the HX750W because it's modular and has flat cables, my TX650W is great but I can't stand all the cables, and I'm not a big fan on the sleeving.

Here the TX650W is €90, the TX750W is €109, the HX620W is €115, the TX850W is €125 and the HX1000W is €204. If the HX750W is €150 or less, I'll probably buy it, still a bit expensive for something that's more of a want than a need though :D

199 is a good price. The only other good 850W PSU is the Antec Sig, and maybe the TX850. That's it.

I don't mind the price, considering it holds up to the competition like the Signature 850 and such. Yeah, they could have released a cheaper modular version based on the now long-in-the-tooth PSH design and charged you less, but I'm glad they didn't, because the TX850 isn't really HX material. Corsair brands their HX line high-end, so you're gonna have to fork out for it. This thing looks rock solid, hoping for more reviews soonish.
