    Corsair 650W TX PSU

    Just ordered one of these... This review convinced me... Haven't heard too much about this model. But at less than £60 (dabs, ebuyer - scan have it for £66) it sounds like a much better buy than the HX 520W if you don't mind non-modular. Made by Seasonic too

    SLi is something I have in mind in the future (fingers crossed that SLi comes to nehalem), so this should be future proof for that too

    What do you guys think about this PSU?

    Always seem to get good reviews, sort of a big brother to the VX which I am very impressed with in 450W guise

    Long cables should come in handy for your 1200 to.

    I was going to go for the 450W, but at £15 more and given that the efficiency is high at low Ws with this psu too, I couldn't resist

    The 620W costs 37% more
    Modular cabling is not worth that much imo... especially if you have a case that has good cable management potential...
