Vission Iceman Outdoor PC Dares The Elements

"Let's put things that shouldn't go in water in water," seems to be a slightly recurring theme here at the moment. Apart from Foxconn putting all their motherboards in big tubes with running water down the outer glass sheet, which only got amusing when the water stopped flowing, and others with their crush proof USB drives, Vission has the Iceman; a totally rigged, outdoor friendly computer.

I'd stick with a single rail if I could.. you can use more of the power using a single rail..

Coolmax is on Tier-5 ("Do not buy" ) of the PSU listing. I'm not currently at work, and don't have the link atm; perhaps someone else can post it.

There is ALWAYS a drone. Exactly where, or how many drones you will encounter may vary, but that there will be at least one will not.

You might want to consider an Antec Earthwatts 500W PSU. I just purchased one online from Frys on sale for $49.99 - NO rebate required - marked down from $89.99. A real deal.

http://shop2.outpost.com/product/5086635

The Frys stores in San Jose CA area also have the same special in their stores and you save the shipping - I bought mine online and paid $8 for ground shipping. By the way - this unit is certified to have 80% or better efficiency accross most power ranges and has two 12 volt rails @ 17A each.

You might also find this link helpful: Recommended Sub-$150, high-efficiency PSU's

http://www.jonnyguru.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1460

You will see the Antec Earthwatts PSU on the list and at the above price it is 1/2 to 1/3 of most other items listed. The Corsair 520W PSU recommended in the above post is also on the list.

That same website also has a review on this PSU:

I got the Xclio Goodpower 500W (Meridian)( listed Tier 2) last Nov. and it works well with my overclocked E6600 and x1950xt. Two more amps on each of the 12V rails than the one you were looking at. $49.99
