This one has me confused:

http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=27430

Of course, there's no pricing anywhere on this. Maybe SuperSix can get me some pricing on Monday, but I can't see where Antec is targeting this product. The only thing that makes sense to me is if the used the better Seasonic platform (the one that Corsair uses.) I can see more paying for a better quality unit, but paying more for a unit that's the same thing, only 80 Plus qualified?

So I'm confused because there's an overlap in power output with the already efficienct, but cheaply made Trio power supply and they use less desirable, typically louder, 80MM fans to cool them. Hmm....

A click on the "manual" for the EarthWatts links you to the manual for the Trio. :confused:

Funny, when I clicked on the manual link last night it opened the TPII manual.

OT: What happened to the site this morning boss?

Ask David Forster, one of the top marketing bananas at Antec Fremont, Ca.
dforster@antec.com

He got in touch with me over my asking about the phony rep..AntecTechLevel4 over at AT. He did donate 4~5 Antec PSUs to be used in the Samxon cap stress test on several identical platforms over at badcaps.

Both David Forster and David Taue (AntecCSR) seem to be decent guys supporting a suspect product :D

I'd really like to see the pricing.
