Was about to order my new PCP&C PSU from the manufacturer directly, but called fry's and they told me it was 159 in store... I was thinking maybe they got the 750W confused with the 610W (the 610W MSRP's @ 159) but I popped into my local Fry's and ended up picking it up at that price. Not a bad deal if you were already going to buy one anyway. The only color they have is the copper finish, but after seeing it in person it doesn't look so bad. Enjoy.

Nice one OP! Thats a sweet deal. It shows as $199 online. I may have to go check the store and see if you just got lucky, i guess.

I know PC&C are some of the best PSUs out there... but how does say an Antec NeoHE or a TruePower stand up against PC&C?

What the hell...

So...

Other companies make different power supplies for different series for the same brand?

this is a really hot price...

I just browsed a whole bunch of San Jose-area Fry's ads and didn't see it advertised anywhere in print/pdf. I don't imagine that it's their everyday price, but there's no indication of when the sale ends. So if you need one, get it quick! I picked mine up at the Campbell store, and there were only like 3 more on the shelf.

I didn't think mine did either, but when I was on PCP&C's ordering page on their website, it said:

"PC Power & Cooling has expanded its distribution to to include select retail stores.

The Turbo-Cool 1KW, Silencer 750, and Silencer 610 power supplies are currently in stock at Fry's Electronics."

Doesn't appear to be any geographic limitations. Give them a call and find out for yourself! SKU# 4978831

This was a great deal! $60 cheaper than Newegg, thanks OP. This persuaded me to start building my system tonight.

I got the last one off the shelf in Sunnyvale :)

as corporate thug said, yep. from the more popular brands, enermax is one of the few that sells psu under their brand only. everyone else like antec, pcp&c, corsair, ocz, silverstone have different manufacturers.

I hope it stays this price for at least a week or two until I can scrounge up the cash.:eek:

Top of the line PSU for a very reasonable price. :thumbsup:

I'm heading over to my local Fry's tomorrow. If they have this price on the Silencer 750 then it's mine and I don't have to worry about PS's for another couple years. :)
