Review: OC Cafe
_______________
Kingwin has always managed to release products sporting a host of practical features accented with just the right amount of panache'. Their latest being the Mach 1 power supply. Not only is the Mach 1 SLI and CrossFire ready, it also boasts modular power lines, LED lighting and a full 600 watt capacity at a street price of $100. The last being no small accomplishment for a full featured quality power supply. Today, we have an opportunity to look at the Kingwin Mach 1 power supply here at the OC Cafe'. Our thanks go out to Kingwin for sponsoring and making this review possible.

That seems like a lot of PSU for the money.. looks really nice too.

The review though, unless I am mistaken, did not even list the rail amperage breakdown and how many 12 rails there are?! I have to go look for that after reading a review? :-/

-it should say right on the side of the thing if he just took a picture of it.. I looked 3 times... maybe I missed the info?

edit---
On the manufacturers website- nothing more shown? There is a pic of the side with the label but it is too small to read..

What is the deal with that?

edit- edit-

on NewEgg it is:

$119.99
10.37 Three Day Shipping

So street price isn't exactly 100 bucks.. NewEgg is usually pretty low.

They have the info missing from the review.

The "undervoltage protection" seems to be rather superfluous - at the levels given, the system would already be in severe difficulty.

Depending on how genuine the implementation of "overvoltage protection" is, that may be worthwhile - and that means not dependent on the circuit that is altready malfunctioning to produce the overvoltage. The classic one in amateur radio 12V supplies is the "crowbar", a voltage triggered thyristor circuit set to short circuit the supply and blow the fuse (in the most basic setup).
