Another update.

Just got off the phone. Rep at OpenLinx says it is a Channel Well (OEM supllier) CWT 420 made for "Turbolink". He says it has a Turbolink sticker on it's side. It also is a retail version in retail box.

See price did go up!

Whoa! I got in under the wire too. I guess they're trying to score a few extra bucks off the AT effect.

What's this "Turbolink OEM" stuff though? What did it say before?

don't know about turbolink...

but 18a on the +12VDC line is excellent if your running a peltier


i just hope it comes close... would be happy as hell if i can get 15a out of it. :D



i almost think it's a mistake... *crossing fingers *

<< The power supply you mention has 2 fans, so I conclude it is not the same as the Antec. >>


For everyone who is worrying about the 2 fans vs. 1 fan discrepancy, I don't think you can draw any conclusions without actually seeing the Openlinx ps and the Antecs side-by-side. Take a look at Newegg and you'll see they even describe the Antec pp403x and pp412x as dual fan-cooled. Clearly these web-sites can be pretty poor about putting up accurate product descriptions.

It's at $49 now. Damn, I missed the boat on this one.

I'm running AMD XP 1900+ (well, 1600+ oc'd), EPOX EP-8KHA+, 512MB Crucial DDR, 64MB DDR Nvidia GeForce 3 Ti200, 1x 80GB Maxtor, 2x 40GB Western Digital, 1x 30GB Maxtor, 1 DVD-ROM, 1 Plextor SCSI 40X CD-ROM, Lite-On 24x CDR, SB Live 5.1, 2nd IDE controller card, Adaptec 3940 SCSI controller, and FireWire card. Everything fits nicely in my Antec 1030 case with Antec 300W PS. Is that too much for the 300W PS?

It's been 2 months and so far I haven't had any problems.

The email i got doesn't jive with the model........

+3.3V:28A, +5V:40A, +12V:18A, -12V:0.5A, -5V:0.5A, +5SB:2.0A
where it should be -12V:1.0A, -5V:1.0A, +5SB:3.0A

It says the Turbolink model number is CWT-420ATX, it doesn't state the Channel Well model number..
Something is not right.

What are you talking about??:confused: "CWT" stands for Channel Well Technologies.

I still think this is a very nice power supply but, just checking to see what others think.
