I just bought this thing last week and I thought it was a sick deal at $70

Tons and tons of jacks, quick release molex's, big silent fan and a beautiful finish. Go GO GO!

This is definitley the w0100ru

Nice deal. I have their 480w psu and i really like it. Thanks OP.

Can anyone open up the rebate form? I get a server error when I try too.

nice deal

Is this product being listed correctly? because this product is sold 110$+ everywhere else- http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getp...240&search=Thermaltake+Pure+Power+500w
This would be a deal of a lifetime for 45 bucks, but i also get an error when trying to view the rebate....

I'm in for one. There's an option to have them mail you the rebate. Even if it doesn't come in, it's still less than 80 bucks shipped to me.

Thermaltake doesn't have a rebate listed for Outpost on their web site.

In for one, $84 overnight to my door. With rebate this is a killer deal.

very nice deal...wonder if the rebate is limit 1...probably
I'm planning on building a new rig soon...might be time to start stocking up on parts.
Efficiency rating looks a bit low (so it doesn't seem like it'll actually give me any more power than my current PSU) but the fact that it seems like it comes with all kinds of crazy crap is kinda neat.

Hmm...

very hot.. thx op.. im in for one.. even though i dont need it.. does the rebate work? i tried to download it but it wouldn't let me open it

 

[dman]

I'm tempted but the $45 rebate link not working is suspicious. I guess print out page and fight it, but, not sure it's worth the aggravation.

[Edit] In for 1. Let the fun begin. [/edit]

Cut/Paste of rebate was posted over at slickdeals.

 

[Idleuser]

well you can always return it.. and make outpost pay the differences since there is a rebate up on the site. Anyways this psu goes for atleast 110+ bucks and is a steal at 70 bucks.

*i read from slick deals that outpost always forget to post the rebate up*

This isn't the Total watts viewer purepower that you're finding all over the net.

here's a list of all of the thermaltake's PSUs. Slickdeals forum says that this is the w0100ru.

Good deal if you get the rebate, but this isn't the psu seen in all the reviews. No active PFC and other goodies.

Outpost is notorious for having the wrong rebate on their site, or an outdated rebate, or no rebate at all. It has to do with the people who run the site. It is incompetence, not an attempt to be slimy. Just call them and they will email you the correct rebate form. They are a very easy company to deal with and are VERY reputable.

BACKORDERED

Here is the link to the specific model:

Not that hot but pretty warm. I was the one that was BACKORDERED...might just cancel it then.

 

[Idleuser]

there is a rebate.. and im kinda sad that it's not the newer version but I still think 40 bucks is a nice price for a 500w psu.

 

[6shiw1]

Hmmm, the page with all of the info for all PSU's show the w0100ru has no active PFC. But the link dafobulous posted says that there might be two versions; a PFC one and a non PFC one... confused??

If the listed information that the PSU operates @ around 20dba and has 70< efficiency, then for $25 ($35 ish for me after tax/shipping) is a steal.

Will 14 and 15A on the 12V rails be enough for a high end video card?

 

[DaFOBulous1]

Based on my experience, it will be a definite improvement in reliability IMO over the X-Connect you have. For a 7900GT...sure. But for SLI, I would go for 18A+ on dual rails.

 

[Idleuser]

i'm not calling the guy on Slick deals a liar but I just called outpost right now and they themselves don't even know the exact model number. Anyways my order has been shipped and we'll know in 2 days.

 

[acemcmac]

I ordered this exact psu last week and it is definitley the w0100ru

it was a steal for me at the full $70 price IMHO. No meter or anything, but definitley a solid, braided 500w PSU with a beautiful finish and quick release molex's. I can't complain

 

[Idleuser]

well there you hav eit w0100ru is confirmed how does it perform? is it quiet and will it power next gen graphics card?

The quickest way for you to get a current rebate form is to
download it from the product description page on our website. You may
also reach us by phone at 1-877-OUTPOST or 1-860-927-2050.

I bought the Thermaltake but like everyone else I couldn't open the rebate. I then asked for one to be sent to me but the above E-Mail was sent. I was hoping they would fix the
rebate link but it doesn't look that way. Now do I call and ask for a rebate form or will they send me one. This is very confusing and I'm surprised at Fry's for not fixing the link.
