Do you think this will sell out quickly? I was planning of waiting a little bit to make a final decision on buying this.

Very good deal. Wish they had this deal going on when I got my PSU a month ago.

Very nice, thanks OP. I was looking for a PSU in this range for a pair of 9800GX2s I picked up.

hmmm I do have several amazon gift cards waiting to be used and also have been looking to pick up a new psu...It's like it was meant to be!! Thanks op, repped.

GREAT deal on one of the best PSUs you can buy. PC Power & Cooling is one of the top 3 manufacturer's in terms of quality for PSUs.

The other two being Seasonic and Antec.

Just a heads up - this is a single 12V rail PSU, which is not ideal for high end systems. Generally you want your motherboard and Grpahics cards on separate rails.

That said, PC P&C make good products.

Actually, that's not correct.

(from http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews.php?/power_supply/pc_power_cooling_silencer_750w_crossfire_edition_a tx_psu/1 [overclock3d.net])

"With many manufacturers designing PSU's containing six or more +12v rails, you may find it strange why PC Power & Cooling have never really embraced this idea - instead sticking to single, double or triple rail designs. However, there is a method to their madness and it ensures that no matter what hardware configuration you have, as long as the total current draw on the +12v rail is below 60amps, your system will not be starved of juice.

For example: Take a ~700w PSU that is designed with three +12v rails. The power distribution between those rails is likely to be around 28amps per +12v rail with a maximum draw of 60a across all three rails. If any one of these rails exceeds its 28amp rated output the PSU will trip OCP (Over Current Protection) and power off. This is obviously not a problem for single rail PSU's as all of their power is available to all devices on a single rail."

Rep Amazon for their service to CA. No Tax, free prime shipping. Thats why I love them. Newegg kills me with the tax.

I really think this is the cheapest it will go - I've followed this psu for like a year, but I didn't really need it, but didn't want to miss it in case it got cheap. This is the cheapest I've ever seen. So if you don't need one right now, you can wait... but if you know you need it in the next few months, I'd jump on it.

Also, rebate explores on 1/16/09

Well crap, I bit. Despite the fact that I told my self, "No more power supplies!"

Rep for ya.

um are you kidding? this psu has been user in plenty of "high-end gaming systems". multiple 12v rails is not better, just different. do some research.

[chejrw]

I have done extensive research, and built many, many PCs. Hook your psu up to an oscilliscope - you'll get much cleaner power with the GPU and CPU on their own rails (3 rails in the case of SLI - one for each GPU), than with them all on the same rail.

Yes, there is essentially no risk of overdrawing if you have one rail, but if you're not an idiot that should never happen anyway.

Go ahead, feed your $300 video card dirty current. Just don't complain that it died after a year.
