Just thought u guys might want to check this out. Just got it in yesterday and man this thing is so SWEET looking. Mine came with a free coolermaster cold cathode kit, I think that deal is over now though. The uv reflective cables look amazing in my case, and i dont have alot of clutter from the PSU cables¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

got to excited to post the link :Q http://www.xoxide.com/x-connect-500-uvblue.html
 
i donk know about most people, but i would take a quality normal looking PSU over a RICED OUT PSU anyday

and that is a weak 500w PSU

enermax 480w
Output: +3.3V@34A; +5V@40A; +12V1@16A; +12V2@15A; -12V@0.8A; +5VSB@2.5A

this is a quality psu yes its ricey but if it matches ur system why not? it has great power, nice amp, quiet, runs cool, and just looks pimp what more coudl u want?
 
Never mind the fact that it provides less power than the quality 480w supplies that Anubis posted.
It looks like the b@stard love child of a cold cathode and a Borg ship.

But hey, form over function; if that's what floats your boat.

Yeah,but come on guys,everyone knows that the flashy lights make it faster. And the faster your PSU the better 😉
 
you got to like the fact you can plug in the cables you need, and not have a mess.

when they make a better version that substitutes looks for performance, then i would buy.

Well the 12V line at 34A is not too shabby at all. The 5V line is a little under par though.

That's what I was thinking; assuming these specs are accurate (although that may be a BIG assumption), this PSU should be fine. It's *hard* to push 30+A on the +5V and +3.3V lines with even a high-end system (how many people need 200+W for their RAM, part of the CPU, MB, and PCI devices?), but it's not tough to push 20-25+A on the +12V line with a high-end processor, high-end video card (and definitely with SLI...), and a lot of hard drives. I'd be more concerned about the specs on that antec 550W that only has 24A on the +12V line.

Silent PC Review reviewed it, and basically panned it (at least as a "quiet" power supply). It passed their (fairly stringent, IMO) functionality tests, though. Unless I was absolutely loading a system down with drives and dual 6800Ultras (and/or dual/quad processors), for the price I'd rather have a Seasonic Super Tornado 400W (which runs significantly cooler and quieter), and even if I needed ~500W, the Antec NeoPower might be a better choice.

Damned if I know 😀
 
I like the cables and the color / flashiness myself, although I would want better performance from a PSU, depending on the system of course.

Any good high performance PSU's that look as good as this?

alot of u guys are saying this psu delivers crappy power...I dont think it does runs my system great, very stable. How is it a bad psu?
