I like the looks of it. it lists its effeciency at ">70%" seems a little lower than others i've seen reviewed. I've seen the powerstation idea on other PSUs and it makes cable management very flexible.
How much is it going to be for you?

Well i found it at a good retailer at $218.00 AUS plus i'm a member at the site so if I order online I get 10% off yay lol.

if your are looking for efficient, you can def get better. but for what you are gettin for the money, id say go for it. that psu is awesome for cable management and versatility. plus, 520 should be enough for any setup. i was considering that psu myself at one point...

Thats why I like it. The cable setup is awesome. What made you change your mind?

i couldnt find it anywhere on the sites i buy from. plus i got a super deal on mine, which looks much nicer i thought. most people will tel me im stupid for having bought mine, but... meh. if you have a hard time finding that power supply.. just shop around. but do your homework, and try to find something at 80% or more. they will get more expensive the more effiecient they are, but, a 500 watt low effiecient psu will give your system the same power as a 450 high efficient psu. so. keep that in mind too. just dont go crazy. your system should really need nothing more than a 400/450 watt. more is better, but unneccessary also. good luck.
