$39.99, $29.99 after MIR (expires 11:59PM PDT on Sunday, 8/29/2010)

 

Very high quality PSU, recommended for the Budget Box.  Single +12V rail and 80+ certified.

saw this shell shocker as well ... I find it interesting that they discontinued the 400w which had 30A on the 12v whereas this has 30 more watts yet only 28A on the 12V ... the 3 and 5.5 appear to be the same for both

That is same impression i got when saw this new PSU from Corsair.

looks like we are paying same for less. Inflation?

Yeah, that is disappointing.  Still, the 2A difference only drops the capacity by one green drive.

Actually, taking closer look, this one has only 2 years warranty, the old 400CX has 3 years and

450VX has 5 years. I guess it is inflation or corporation is beefing up profit? :-)

 

It also only has 2 SATA power connectors.

Weird, the picture shows 4 (2 each on two cables).

Raj...opened the box and you were right again.  A relief for me, although the CX400W had 6 connections.  I'll need a SATA power splitter for my 6 drive setup.
