Corsair 520 keeps dropping @ buy.com

79 with GCO is great. I just got one for 69AR from frys and this is really close if the shipping is free.
 
Actually, both PSUs are single rail. There was a misprint on the box and they just went with it to save money. For proof, look at Jonnyguru.com's forums, Redbeard had mentioned the details (a Corsair rep). The HX is a better build, but both are fine PSUs
 
wow, $90 bux for the corsair 550w. be careful with google checkout, if you abuse it, google may send a nasty email saying you can use it anymore.

can someone explain this rail business to me? it is better to get a ps with 1 rail or more?

 
Thats what it was when I bought mine a few months back. I have started buying a lot of my computer parts from them, newegg has just gotten to expensive.
 
The VX series is just perfect for replacing the Dell PSU in the Inspiron 530 (Q6600). The dimensions are 5.9"(W) x 3.4"(H) X 5.5"(L), whereas most ATX12V PSUs are 5.9"(W) x 3.4"(H) X 5.9"(L).

One rail is less of a hassle as you don't have to worry about load balancing. Multiple rails is rumored to be "safer" but that hasn't been proven afaik.
 
I bought a VX550 from Buy.com a little while back for $68.00AR for my last build. Excellent PSU!

Runs my Q6600 @ 3.2GHZ, and all the trimmings w/o issue.

Don't let the non-modular issue scare you off either. I've got a bottom-mount case and the cables are plenty long enough to reach AND do some good cable management (if you take you time with it); I just wish it were sleeved all the way.

These are great PSUs at great prices! I would keep an eye out at B&M CompUSA clearance. In my area they are at 40percent off which makes the 620 105 bucks here in Indianapolis.I bought a couple and there were a dozen or so left at that price a few days ago.
