Bit strange i hear ask as ive already got one, but i bought it in spare of the moment which was fine but now im adding more hdds and the like its having to work harder.

Is there any known issues with them? If it actually only kicks out15watts realworld power im not to botthered im more worried bout reliability issues :confused: :)
 
Thermaltakes PSUs are built by FSP/Sparkle and they get pretty good reviews generally. On *** other hand there was a Custom PC test about 6 months ago that upset absolutely everyone as a few sacred cows (Tagan, Hiper, OCZ) were slagged off and did not perform very well. If I recall correctly the £50 Thermaltake was unable to outperform the 400W Generic PSU that cost about £10! So maybe it wasn't the wisest choice - but I've got loads of Hiper's here and they're fine, so what do reviewers know?
 
Ill tell you what, as impulse buy thats good to hear.

One thing ill note is that on one of those reviews it says the pci-e connectors dont fit either of his gfx cards, well one ive got fits fine into my 6800 :confused:
