What do you guys think of this PSU? It's a great price and I'm really thinking of getting it because it's rated great at tomshardware and it has good reviews @ newegg.com.

Me and Wyre have a Sparkle and I have to say i really like mine. They are a pretty good PSU for the money. So go for it.

They have a good name in the marketplace! Plus the value is there for sure!

I have one in my dually rig at work ... handles heavy loads day in and day out.... Nothin pretty, heavy as hell, built like a tank. If you are looking for a pretty , quiet , dual fan job ... look else where ... The Sparkle is none of those things ... but they WORK which to me means more.
