I thought the review itself wasn't too awesome but it was still useful for me since it answered some of my questions regarding the exterior casing (its a dark gray paint, not just metal) and about the cables (sleeving).

I found some places a while back that sell this in the US -->> http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=etasis+gaming+power&btnG=Search

Yea, but I think the ST75ZF and ST85ZF look better :D

:cool:

Well, would you look at that rainbow of colors that should be nicely sleeved cables. I see black sleeves, blue sleeves and then unsleeved cables. It looks....cheap. But I'm sure it performs like a champ. :)

Plus, he tested it with an X800XT PE......on an 850W PSU!!!!!!!! These reviews just keep getting better and better.....

I just found this :

129 quid is about half the price Irish/UK customers pay for a decent 850w PSU. So is the same as the Zeus ?

[jonnyGURU]

Yep.

Just minus the sleeved cables.

Grand, that's what I will be advising my mate to get so, instead of the Enermax which costs about 40% more. I noticed the Zippy psu's (gaming ones) in the UK cost about 50% more. Why are Etasis so cheap ? No sleeved cables ?

[jonnyGURU]

Because they own the factory?

[Flanno]

Well my friend just ordered the Etasis 850w. Seeing as my Seasonic M12 700w is more expensive, quieter and fully sleeved he has agrred to swap. I don't mind the fact the sata cables are not sleeved on the Etasis as I will run them behind my mobo tray. I know it's going to be noisier then the Seasonic I have now but for some sad reason I just have the urge to have a Tier1 PSU :) And it is not really going to cost me anything. I would not have even known about the differences between PSU's if it was not for this site, so thanks.

There are at least a few reputable places that sell the Silverstone-branded version for basically the same price, ~$170. You can find them through Froogle as well :) Some people only check one place *cough* Newegg *cough* expecting to find the best price right away.

Does Zippy own their own factory or not?????

Does Zippy own their own factory or not??

Too many question marks ;)
Yes and they are the only SMPS builder to still do so in Taiwan.
http://www.zippy.com.tw/ All the products here are produced by Zippy/Emacs.
Zippy is one of the best but offers no bling and some models can be loud under heavy load.
Last year they opened a factory in China for testing, packaging and distribution of units built in Taiwan.

There's still SMPS manufacturers that use factories in Taiwan. Or do you mean "exclusively?"

As of last year it was exclusively, all units were built in Taiwan. IDK about the rest of thier products. They are into ceramics big time.
Last year thier site was wide open to anyone, now one must be registered and log in.

Ok.. Because I was going to say, depending on the model you could find an FSP made in Taiwan or China, SevenTeam, Seasonic, etc. The PCP&C TurboCools are made in Taiwan, but you can't say Win-Tact exclusively uses Taiwan factories because they do have Chinese facilities as well.
