Not finding much on the web about it nor does it seem that it's on sale yet.

Most TT PSUs are made by http://www.Sirtec.com.tw . I don't think that model is in the States yet - froogle doesn't show any hits.
. I am currently recommending the XClio 450 PSU (made by Channel Well same as Antecs are) as the best value. I don't care for the split rail fad but that is hard to beat at <$60. shipped from newegg. The other XClios are pretty good values too - just not as good as the 450.
. If you want modular, you can get the conversion kit from SVC. 😉

There's the :sun: !

I say that it's a pretty average PSU. As suggested by Zepper. XClios are pretty good too.

I'd get something else. A Fortron/OCZ/Antec should serve you well.

Also, if u feel like seeing my specific recommendations, just search for the "PSU Purchasing Guide" that i wrote up.

Good power supply, but not great.

Thermaltake PSU's tend to droop their rails under load. It also only has 18A on the +12v. Try to get at least 24A on the +12v. They are a bit loud too. I would look at other PSUs.

That TT PSU the OP is talking about has 2x18 Amp rails =36Amps - duuuh...

Every single dual 18A PSU I've tried trips at 32A combined load at 25°c

What interested me the most was that the modular design. Wasn't sure if I should wait for this or just go ahead with Neopower 🙂

For modular, get the conversion kit from SVC et al. and do it yourself, so you'll be sure you're getting a quality PSU instead of something that was whipped together to cash in on the fad.
