CORSAIR CMPSU-550VX 550W ATX12V V2.2 --$55 AR FS

Just got the NewEgg promo, and they had this Psu listed. Already have one, and its been a champ. Good deal at that price, I think. Maybe I should pick up another.....

Promo Code: EMCLRLV34

Have one of these in my main rig. Can't resist another at this price for my htpc.

Pretty hot deal. I grabbed the 450VX for $45 AR a month or so ago, so the 550VX at $55 AR is a very good price. If I needed this much power I'd be all over it.

this is running my main rig also. if i didnt hate rebates so much i would snag another one for my htpc.

This seems like it could be a better deal,

Any thoughts on how an OCZ StealthXStream compares to the Corsair?

the ocz has 4 rails. the corsair has 1. 1 = better

It's a myth that 1 rail = better. Take a look @ the stickies in the psu forum.

Nonetheless, I agree that (for other reasons) the corsair will definitely be higher quality than the ocz stealth.

Thanks, ordered one last night. Was looking for a PSU for my brother's system, but I'll give him mine and replace it with this one.

good price but it seems only slightly lower than usual as corsair seems to have a rebate on this a lot

Anyone remember what is the cheapest they ever saw this for?
