Ultra X Connect Psu Special UK Green Edition 500W LOOKS GREAT :)



If only i didnt need a PSU real badly lol i would go for this but its going to be a month before they hit the UK

dont they look SWEET THOUGH

Update:

Whats takeing the time between releaseing in the UK when the Usa Model is already release is Callibration of the PCC Also,
"active PFC model will cost £83.50 with in UK and europe" that is quote from their PR department

so there is the price aswell pritty cheap for a PSU that is top of the range and gets awsome reviews its up there with the OCZ PowerSteam 520w PSU.
even though the OCZ has 20 more watts this PSU still manages to behave exactly as the OCZ would possibly even better rails due to better Cable Insulation

I got the black one and my friend has the blue one. It sure is a sexy PSU; but that UK edition is sooo pretty.

Hopefully this does well for Ultra (which it should) -- it really is a great product. I'm probably going to pick up that black glossy Ultra ATX case as well.

The SATA cables are free once you purchase. Just gotta print out a sheet and send a wonderful fax.

Damn that UK edition is so nice.

hmmm... depending on the noise levels i might choose that over the Globalwin Sapphire 520W.... i like the look of the cable system with the x-connect stuff - really good idea... noise is the only concern
