Newegg has the 550 watt Truepower Trio for 99.99, get the 30.00 rebate and use the promo code of: EMC828CASE04 for 30.00 more, delivered price of 39.99, unless you have to pay tax. You must subscribe to the Newegg newsletter to apply code.
Pretty good deal.

I tried to sign up for their newsletter just now and it was a no go

I can aways use an extra power supply.

Good timing, I could use a nice PSU right about now. Thanks, GeezerMan.

Edit: SPCR review

 

[JSLIM]

I have one of these. Mine is all sleeved unlike the pictures on Newegg.

I'll be building a PC in 2 weeks. I have the earthwatts 500, the NeoHe 500 available, or I could go with the Trio deal here. The earthwatts and the NeoHe are Seasonic built, the NeoHe is modular. Anyone have a preference given these three choices? Power is not really a concern for me on this build. Thanks

The Trio is also built by Seasonic, but unless you collect psu's or simply want spares use the ones you have now.

I actually have the NeoHE 500w and its a great PSU. IIRC it was well reviewed and modular. The downside is that because of the components I have I used all but one of the cables, making the modular facet useless. It is also very quiet (and cool) - quieter than the stock e6600 HSF.

As for being Seasonic builds the review Pollock link mentioned the layout 'screams seasonic'

The 12v rails on the antec 550 offer slightly higher amps, but the unit is less efficient and (I am guessing) nosier - but there is that extra 50watts to consider

I would stick with the ones you have

 

[konakona]

between this and that earthwatts 500W @fry's, which one would be quiter?

EDIT: well actually, I should have asked which one is better. Now that I have moved to texas and keep the ceiling fan almost all the time..

When is the Newegg discount code valid until?

 

[crapito]

no more rebate on Newegg's item page, so essentially, the deal is dead.

Direct link to rebate

Got mine today, but I'll have to install it tomorrow.

This is the second post with a link I noticed on my slow home-away-from-home connection that seems to have some kind of redirect. You probably wouldn't even see it on broadband. Is this a stealth referral? I don't think the other link was to newegg but I don't remember what it was exactly. I managed to grab the interim URL once before the newegg site loaded up:

"//detonator.dynamitedata.com/cgi-bin/redirect.pl?lid=l00000187&user=u00000165&time=1189121665"

This is the plain url to the newegg item, found by navigating the catalog on newegg.com site:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/...p?Item=N82E16817371002

Edit: tried to avoid the forum auto-linkifying the redirect site. It had http: at the beginning.

You're right it's a referral link. It should only be this link here. It's been edited out.
