    Good to see that Corsair didn't produce a Turkey with this one.

    Onus why would Corsair produce me?

    Anyway I think the price/performance page shows all. This thing rocks!

    Also Jonnyguru claims it is a rifle bearing fan that has the same model # as the sleeve variant.

    Does the CX650 perform the same as the CX650M? I'm not interested in modularity anyway.

    The CX650 is not out yet.

    I have several CM and CX-M units, which I plan to fully evaluate. So far I figured that there are differences (something natural of course) in their performance.

    Could you put the newer CXM 750W OR 850W on deck soon , as they are widely use for DUAL CARD configurations.

    The 750W and 850W CXM units are basically unchanged except for a bridge rectifier upgrade. Everything else is the same. Only the CX450-650M got the major revisions.
