I honestly don't get this whole business with the fuse and the spark 😕

By the way, I finally pulled the trigger on that 650W Seasonic unit... yeah, it cost me a bit more, but at least I won't be hunting for spare change under the couch cushions to pay for it 😁

Once I've finished poking around this annoying little thing, I'll put together a proper review for you guys

And stay tuned, because we'll be doing a quick deep dive on the XFX gear too 🙂

It actually turned on normally later. What a disaster. My Strider is definitely quieter than this thing....

I'll write something more useful tomorrow.

By the way, if you're looking to grab a power supply, hurry up. I asked Best Buy about their stock and they said they had a massive Christmas sale with 50% off and everything flew off the shelves... whatever is left in the stores is all there is.

Wait, are you kidding me? 😁

The guys over at Protis gave me my money back because they sold their last unit this morning. Apparently, the next shipment arrives in 15 days and they don't even know what the pricing will be yet... what a joke. :/

BTW, after that stunt, I'm not sure if this power supply is even meant to be mine. 😬

I honestly thought those prices were just because of the holiday season...

Looks like I'll just wait for better times when those high-end Seasonic units finally drop in price. hehe

Fantastic... 🙂

A little review wouldn't hurt, right? Just for the sake of heaven, if you get a chance, let us know your first impressions and how it actually performs in the field 🙂

I won't be getting mine until after the 5th...

It’s going right out the window... now I’m just stuck waiting for my paycheck to drop so I can finally grab that GPU. 😁

The Carrier unit is going to run me about $600 including shipping... but we'll see what kind of headache I deal with at customs. 😁

Not even holding my breath for a sale price, haha.

Honestly, everything would be so much easier if the folks over at Dell actually picked up the phone once in a while. :/

So, I’m sitting here weighing my options... should I sell it or not? It’s out of warranty, which isn't ideal, but maybe I can still squeeze some decent cash out of it. :/

This Boeing 747 is seriously tempting... and man, I have such a soft spot for it. Seriously. 😁

Besides, my new beast from California arrives next week, so I’ll be totally set. Heh.

Whatever. I'll just head over to Dell and ask if they even have it in stock. 🙂

Aha... yeah, sometimes the good deals just find their way to you. 🙂

I was just looking at Dell. Looking at Dell. And the warranty is actually sixty months... those 24 months they mention at Amazon? Probably just some internal gimmick of theirs. :/

Just when I posted about those old stock items, it turns out Dell is practically giving them away... what a fantastic price. 🙂

By the way, I haven't seen any news about them slashing prices on their power supplies, so it's highly likely they're just clearing out some old inventory...

Sales haven't been exactly booming lately—probably because they hiked the prices too high before—so I'm assuming that's what's happening here. :/

Either way, this is an incredible buy. It's funny how you always find something even the retailers themselves seem to have missed... makes me think of John Doe's graph for $467 🙂

You must have snagged that somewhere at an absolute steal, maybe even at a place like Newegg 🙂
