Those Ultrax's are pretty nice. I think i'm getting old because i'm kind of behind the times when it comes to computer stuff lately 
Really what reviews? All the reviews I read about the Ultra power supplies are great. They always recommned them. The only one I`ve heard that wasnt good was the one in the max. mag. They said it was a crappy psu but the model they received wasnt a final product it was for show only. I`d like to see those bad reviews you are talking about because I`m considering getting an ultra psu.
Xoxide has good prices...but good customer service? Forget it!
Hey have this xpoints programs that rewards you when you make purchases.
After numerous emails, I still have not recieved my points for 3 orders. And dont even think of trying to complain on the xoxide forums, the nazi admins nuke anything that even remotely portrays xoxide in a bad light.

Agreed, based on the reviews I've seen they'd have to do a lot better than this!
I can remember when I used to l@@k forward to the Sunday X~Hour Sale.
I got some Zalman stuff and lights from them but never installed the lights. I haven't checked them out in well over a year cause they just don't offer anything I want anymore.
maximum pc is the most reliable and objective source for kick-ass reviews. Just read how extreme their power supply review was, only the best psu's passed it. A psu is judged on performance, not looks (although a cool looking psu is nice), and "ultra x-connect" is just some new vendor with no experience in this market, trying to get a foot hold mostly by relying on gimmicks. This doesn't mean it's neccessarily a bad psu, just that it's a gamble since it may not be as reliable as the proven brands.
That's true but everyone is talking negative about this PSU base on 1 review I can give all the ultra x-connect bashing readers a forum but I won't since this takes away the purpose of this thread which ended hehe.
The UltraX is a gussied up POWMAX. Read the reviews of POWMAX units and then you'll understand all the bashing this unit received. I had one. The 12v rail was low and unstable. But please, buy one if you must.
Lord knows their R&D dept could obviously use some additional funding. Once again, here's a link to a thread which lists those supplies that have performed well and those which have not. It might be of some use .

This has been covered. MaximumPC reviewed a "display only" X-Connect PSU they had received for a different story months prior, and never contacted Ultra for a production PSU for the review/comparison they just did.
The X-Connect PSUs are tight on their rails and high quality, just don't try to stuff one in a small case as the ATX motherboard cable is rather long and not all that flexible.
im still curious as to how many of all the people that have bashed it in this thread has actually used one... or if they have used and it was bad, get a replacement and have that one go bad as well
I have an Ultra X-Connect and the 12V rail is the most solid out of a PS I've ever had. And it never fluctuates.
