If i'm not mistaken, Antec is using Seasonic built PSUs for all their topend models now.

Nice deal. I bought this from CompUsa last month with $30 MIR so it was $10 more and considered it a good deal. It has a small fan but it is quiet and I don't mind that it isn't modular. wires are pleanty long for low mount in my P180 case.

I bought this several weeks ago from crap usa when it was $50..One warning, they shipped the psu in a box with no packing!!!no bubble wrap or peanuts, just flopping around in a big box.

The psu works fine and I am relying on antecs warranty if something goes wrong however I would pick it up rather than have it shipped..

The psu is very quiet and also has a good rating on spcr...

Wow this is seriously awesome deal. EarthWatts is basically non-modular version of NeoHE, which is also a great PSU. I see lots of great Antec deal this day

Are these sales also viable at stores that are closing down?

The one by me has 30% off power supples and that sure would sweeten this deal even more .

Nope, all compusa sales are not valid at stores closing down. You still might get the rebate of they do not blackout the upc but the $20 instant savings is a no go...

 

[VengefulActs]

I'm in. I do wish it had a fat fan sucking on the case, but that review was pretty good and I'm going to need something on hand for my build-up next month.

Thanks OP!

My local Compusa did not have it in stock nor any one close to me. But then again do they ever really have any of the better deals in stock on the day of the sale. Of course not. I for one am not sad that they are closing half their stores. It's only a matter of time before they close them all if you ask me.

 

[RallyMaster]

Yeah, I don't see how the only CompUSA here in Indy is even profitable. There's an average of 6 people in the store every time I walk in...and 5/6 of them don't buy anything.

 

[tydas]

I have no respect for crap usa...most other stores will give you credit if an item you buy goes on sale later..on this item crapusa pulls that 'instant savings' crap and wont give u the lower price...

Does anyone know if this Antec PSU has a long enough power cable to reach my Biostar T-Force 6100 MB in an Antec P180?

I have the p180 amd biostar 965pt and the cable reaches but has to go over the video card...waiting on an extender i ordered..

 

[mdcrab]

Order online earlier this am for instore p/u. I went to the store and the guy in front of me at the piclup counter had ordered same item. The whole store was mobbed with the 23rd anniversary sale going.

Anyway this appears to be a very nice. It's heavy weight wise and also comes with active pfc. Not some you can find a $40 PS.

Great find!

Sweet Deal, I'm in. Thanks a lot!

 

[Spike]

Cool, thanks for the deal. Checking out reviews it looks like it powers a 8800GTX fine so it should handle an 8800GTS no prob. Now all I need is the graphics card...

 

[wedi42]

i have the 430 watt version of this, my pc uses ~80 watts of power now according to my kill-a-watt

 

[Johnbear007]

I have the Ultra modular 550w PSU and it is very cramped in my p80. I may replace it with this!

What's the chances of rebates not being honored/fulfilled?
