ahh didnt think about that .. well that PSU you've found definitely pulls some serious horses for that sort of money, even though I work in £?s I can still appreciate the price difference and value, just wondering if it is a reliable brand of PSU.

Thats pretty cheap "*just like the birdie*" :p

I have a 550 watt Fortron 60PLN that is very powerful and rock stable. With Fortron's track record, I am sure the 600 watter is pretty reliable...hope to see some reviews pop up soon....

I read that report too, although I can't comment on PCP&C. Losing a $1000 cpu is insane. I'll stick to my FX imitator, the fabulous Opty :p

The Aopen version of the FX600-GLN is already showing well, and has a few reviews here and there on the net. There is also a 700 watt version available for more $$$

Fortron and PC&P are probably the two best, common PSU makers in the business... along with seasonic.

The FX600-GLN is identical in dimensions to my 60PLN which is a standard psu size (150x86x140). It's not extended.....FYI :)

Some of fortrons stuff is great, like all thier sparkles... Like yours.. but these looking too much like thier other 120mm junk which I had no luck with which I think are built by coolmax.. It's a lie anways...no way they can fit 15A x4 12 volts into regular PSU case.. And no way can it be so cheap. That's 40A which $330 PSUs is starting price and twice the size.

I'm very happy with my Fortron 530w. If that 600 pans out, it will be an awesome psu at an even more awesome price...

Zebo,

I agree that some of the FSP/Fortron Aurora units weren't much to write about. The server units are all tha AND a bag of chips though. I also agree that Sparkle gets most of the good stuff, and very little fo the mediocre.
