This model seems to have an outstanding price/benefit ratio. Let’s take a look on it.

Anything that works the same with less effort and gives the same or better quality output is a major plus in my book. So give one of the iGreen PSU's a try and tell your parents it will save money on their next light bill... they will love it.

With all the hype surrounding power management requirements in SLI (and later in Crossfire) systems, it would not have been surprising for OCZ to jump onboard, but surprisingly, the company didn’t take advantage of the unnecessary excitement

In addition to the solid power readings, the high efficiency and active PFC are two very desirable features which help to make this power supply a top rated component.

The Purepower 600W, exhibits just that; it's stability is right up there with more expensive power supplies. Thanks to it's active PFC, fluctuating only a few hundredths of a volt between idle and load conditions. Going the extra mile, Thermaltake felt it necessary to pack it with three separate 12V power rails, delivering a 52A punch.

It seems a little short on the wattage scale compared to some of the monsters other companies are manufacturing these days, so we'll have to see if this little PSU can supply enough power to keep a standard everyday use system running stable along with a little overclocking and gaming thrown in just for fun.

Silverstone Zeus ST75ZF 750 Watt Power Supply Review

If you have two GeForce 7800/7900’s in SLI mode, then a minimum rating of 34A +12V is recommended. That’s over 400 watts for just the two video cards.

But, if 550 watts isn't enough for you, there are Toughpowers in the works with up to 750 watts and modular cables will be available on selected models. Outstanding stability like this, however, doesn't come cheap..
