When will this be coming to the UK (Scan)?
RRP?

I hope its in time for my new build.

It is not released yet so I cannot give a date. We'll announce it when they are available for retail.

"are we there yet?"

[Yellowbeard]

I'm not sure when exactly it will hit retail shelves but, some cool site called Hexus has a review on their front page:

HEXUS.net - Review :: Battle of the 1000W PSUs: Corsair HX1000 vs. AKASA PowerMate V2 : Page - 1/5

q-tec aren't exactly quality...
doubt you can run what people who usually buy corsair run (gaming systems, wc setups, many hdd's etc).

Yellowbeard are there any modulars after the 620hx coming out? (between hx620 and hx1000) If so will they incorporate this cool "after shutdown keep fans spinning to cool the pc" technology.

Cheers

[moogle]

water cooling setups, extreme overclocking the cpu/gfx card etc etc.

no it won't, the water is contained in tubes and is a medium to dissipate the heat, if it were submersed in water it wouldn't be likely to catch fire either would it.

i dunno bout all this techie stuff lol i thought with electricity it might catch like fire

very rare that components will catch fire. only heard of 1 or 2 (x1950 card iirc) so you're pretty safe from a pc fire.

Should be within the next 2 weeks hopefully, first order went VERY quickly and the second is being tested at our test facility right now for QA.
