It looks oddly heavy on the 3.3v and 5v rails. And, why no 8 pin or 6+2 pin PCI-e connectors? They might not really believe their own press about 800w. That must be rated at 10c.

Under new management, CompUSA continues to screw it's customers.

WTF? Even the "flex force" cables are the same. Why hasn't ultra handed out a lawsuit yet. :|

Unless... 'Power Up' is some magical OEM Ultra used at one point and now their just selling the units on the side for more... I don't know.

I bet it's just a 600w psu in the box, and they send you a rebate for the other 200w.

Yeah, I mentioned that in another thread. Tiger used to give those original Ultra's away with $50 cases. Best one I had went kablooey and took an ASUS A8V with it.

And just 2 +12VDC rails. Certainly not necessarily the way some people might want it, depending on how they have them balanced.

Sure looks identical. Something is fishy in Denmark here.
