when are you going to purchase the psu, since psu sales go in and out all the time

without counting rebates and psus on sale:

Funny you mention that because the 15% discount ended on the PC Power and Cooling unit I listed :lol:

+1 great PSU's and links.

BTW, how is that Rosewill HIVE holding up? I've heard pretty good things about them and I'm considering picking one up for a small project I'm working on ATM.

the hive series works, but I tend to not suggest buying it straight up, unless theres a sale on it OR your buying it with a rosewill case(which equates to 30$ off combo, which is pretty significant on a combo). the best psu usually are the good psus that are on sale. Performance wise, the Rosewill hive is just the OCZ ZS series turned modular(the zt series is modular, but isnt the same as the zs series)

Thanks for the info

I will definitely consider this PSU if I were to purchase with a Rosewill case. However, since I'm not working with a Rosewill case at the moment, I will definitely look elsewhere.

Thanks everyone!

I have a problem looking at any of your newegg links they all take me to the home page.

Also I would only like semi modular/modular units.

 

[dudewitbow]

if you were talking about mines, the psus in question are:

Antec Earthwatts 750w green(not modular)
Antec High Current Gamer 750w(not Modular)
Rosewill Capstone M 750w(Modular)

assuming you live in the U.S

Thanks i wasn't able to open any newegg links, but thanks.
