Wantings!!

Doubt we'll see it at OcUK though, they don't stock Silverstone PSUs do they?

Shame, because they make pretty reliable units... can't fault my ZM1200M.

I think they are also the first manufacturer to market with such a small, yet relatively powerful PSU.

Yewen (before he left) told me they would not be stocking them.

A UK competitor claims to have these in stock - I have just ordered mine... we shall see.

McPhee · 11 May 2010 at 21:17

Ahh yes, and at a good price too. I was expecting it to be more than that

The irony though is in the current 5850/5870 prices, the PSU is available but now I can't afford the graphics card

Mine will arrive tomorrow, I'll let you know what I think.

Tute · 12 May 2010 at 11:00

Thanks for the heads up, placed my order for one last night. Will also post my opinions.

if only they sell the SG05 without the PSU

Grimgoth · 13 May 2010 at 10:37

hmm, which cases normally take a sfx psu?
cos from what i see with those sfx-->atx brackets is that the psu is going to be sort of hanging in the air in all the cases i have that can fit it.....

The clue is in the title of the forum...

Arrived today and installed already.

Pre-sleeved cables are very nicely done (although too long for my particular build so I'll be taking a pair of clippers, soldering iron and some heatshrink to it soon.)

I love that it's black; much nicer with the window in the side of my SG05B.

I gained 4000 points in 3DMark Vantage and my Hdd read writes shot up 15Mbps!

How's yours coming a long mate?

Lemons_Mufc · 14 May 2010 at 17:14

so what can this particular 450w PSU handle?

I7?
5850?
H50?
SSD?

Not had chance to get around to it, hectic couple of days.

Well the biggest constraint is the size of the Sugo SG05/06, meaning that at best you're looking at an HD5850, Core i7, H5O, etc. and the standard 300W PSU might just be enough to handle all that on it's own.

The point of the 450W PSU is more future-proofing the Sugo against new and hungrier graphics cards.

Shame on you for uploading such things on this site.................. send more pics in.

Lemons_Mufc · 15 May 2010 at 00:06

very nice

was just wondering Tute, how good is the Intel DH57JG compared to the Zotac H55-ITX

Tute · 15 May 2010 at 00:35

Hard to say really. I came from the DFI MI P55-T36, which one day decided to pack up on me. It's not the first time a DFI board has done this and i'm sick of it.

So I bought the Intel instead. Sure, it may not be an amazing overclocker, but at least I won't come home to find it dead.
