PS for a new rig

By the time I was looking for a PS, they sold the case I was going to buy, so looks like I can order PS online now. Will this work or I should look for a smaller one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-015-_-Product

PS for a new rig

Retail Microcenter prices usually are not that bad, sometimes they have better deals than newegg, like i7-950 for $199, but I will not buy Basiq for $70 - It was on sale couple months ago there for $49 They have pretty good OCZ selection, these are in my price range...

PS for a new rig

They have about 30 different models in 500W-650W range, some way off my price range, some too cheap to make me worry. here is one I am considering: http://www.microcenter.com/single_pr...uct_id=0303417 They have local stock check - if you select "OH - NorthEast Ohio/ Mayfield" store

PS for a new rig

Need urgent help: Will 650W PS will be enough or I need to look for a larger PS? Business Machine: Gigabyte X58A-UD3R with i7-950, 6GB DDR3, 1TB HD x2 raid, GV-N450-1GI video? Any specific PS recomendations under $70?

Possibly Dead: Brother Color Laser HL-4040CN $49.99 AR

I just looked at the Microcenter webpage and rebate link is gone! completely! I printed it last night in PDF in case someone needs it, but this does not look good... Actual rebate form was printed on the receipt pre-filled with all information so you may not need PDF rebate for at all...

Yep, rebate is scary, but I never had problems with Microcenter - will see Even without rebate it's hot. YMMV. They printed rebate form and extra receipt right at the register. I was about to buy a next set of color inks (for kids Inkjet) that will never last longer than couple months...
