Many people, ourselves included, predicted the massive increase in power supply sales and marketing through 2004 as soon as it became apparent that graphics cards were likely to start requiring significantly more juice than in the past.
Kickstarted by NVIDIA's initial statement that a minimum 480Watt power supply would be required to run their latest high-end GPUs, a specification it later scaled back somewhat to around 350Watts, companies across the globe saw their chance to cash in on a forced upgrade and tempt buyers their way.
With a history in designing and building PC switching power supplies that stretches back to 1975, Sea Sonic Electronics Co. Ltd is actually one of the veterans of this suddenly very visible sector. However, their reluctance to follow the crowds and opt for high gloss titanium coated cases, braided cables, LED fans, modular cable management or any of the other real attention-grabbers means they're not a name that often gets mentioned in the same breath as the likes of Tagan, Enermax, OCZ, Ultra and the like.
