Above PSU is on sale at Frys (If u have a local store near by). $69.99 - $60MIR = $9.99.

The above link I gave is just for reference.

I had good experience with Ultra Brand PSUs. They give Lifetime warranty when u register with them. I got 4 PSUs from them and no problems. I got the 600W version which powers my PC with X2 3800 @2600Mhz. No sneezing!!!:D

that looks really nice, I like the finish to it. The dual rails are nice one with 18 and one with 20.

The problem is it doesnt have rail fusion so the dual rail is almost pointless. Dual rail is kind of lame unless it has the fusion. Thats pretty expensive for a 600 W. I wish I had a store around here to buy one that would be nice but I only order off Newegg :D

when I get it, I will see if my asus ncch-dl mobo and one 2.4 ghz xeon (that didn't die)
is still running so I can at least check my video toaster card & beta deck to sell them to upgrade, otherwise I just have to wait til I get enough $ from paychecks to upgrade.

Don't even ask about the video card. I put the good one that is only 1.5 years old on the kitchen computer.

crosshair? Do you mean Corsair? There used to be a car called Corsair.....
(I haven't been having a fun time either for the last 2 months)

well, I bought this PSU thinking about what I want to get next:

Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe mobo
pny 8800 gts 320mb graphics card
2.8 ghz amd athlon x2
2 gb ram


If I can sell any one of my video equipment in the next two months, I'll get slightly better
stuff, like maybe the 640 mb version of the 8800gts, and/or maybe the AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+. ha! remains to be seen.


I'm just tired of having components break down. I want a break from that for a while.

Yea sorry corsair. That system looks really highend. So if you got that one with those parts in mind I may take a second look at it.
