Thermaltake modular PSU

[OhHenry]

Thermaltake has a new modular PSU that looks pretty interesting. Here. Does anybody have one here and would love to give me their personal experience. Also, I'm wondering about the quality of thermaltake psu in general.

Quality is fine.

I'd spend another 5 dollars and get the OCZ 530 Power stream if you want raw performance.

Modular is a ripoff to me since I would probably use all the cables 😛

well the problem for me is that I don't use all the cables and it looks pretty dam messy.

You could buy the OCZ ModStream 520W which costs $15 less

Thermaltake PSUs are actually not as bad as people describe them. I've had quite a few of them, without failure.

Very true

Their 420 model for $36 is my favorite PSU.

With only 18A it runa an A64/6800GT/3 HD/2 Opticals with 11.92 on the 12V.

Running strong for 1.5 years.

Aerocool Turbine 550w. I don't hear the name Aerocool come up at all for PSU. I read a few reviews and it gave pretty stable voltage underload. Anyone familar with aerocool brand psu?

My first expirience with a thermaltake PSU has pretty much detered me from buying one again. First my 350w enermax has 26a on the 12v rail, compared to 18a on the 420w thermaltake, and then the stupid thing died after only 2 days. I RMA'd it and got a replacement, and the replacement has been running fine since, but I wouldn't use it for my main rig.
