They sure look interesting, but I'm curios about the pricing.

I thought they were PUK, but are actually DSG.

PS: Channel Well's website is hacked :lol:

[MrWicked1968]

I like the look.

lol somebody failed geography if he thinks CWT is in Malaysia....

[370forlife]

boy I hope that thing on CWT's Taiwan website isn't too malicious, I went over there to see what he was talking about and it is a bit strange.

[Makalu]

no it's not malicious...just mildly annoying

[EaGle1337]

only the main page was hacked, the rest of cwts site works.
I'm pretty sure that these TTs are a PUK unit, they don't look like a DSG.

The TPG has a different secondary layout than original DSG.

How different? @3:25 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEphsUbPqcc) they show a diagram of the internals and it at least looks like the normal DSG.

Guys...

PUK?
DSG?

:confused:

[Smirnoff]

Channel Well only has a 500W unit listed under PUK... So how can they take it to 750W?

[Stefan Payne]

no ziptie or shrink tube with glue for the modular cables...

And a 105°C Primary cap?
Isn't that just for marketing?

The buck PWM boards are located differently in a spy photo, but this photo is clearly a normal DSG (with solid caps on 12V output).

DSG, PUK, etc., are internal design names used by Channel Well Tech (CWT). Don't try to decipher what the letters themselves stand for, just know that they are different designs.

I very much appreciate this info, Proximon! Thanks a lot!

[RSC]

I hope these are good, cause they sure look pretty...

[kaninja]

Active PFC saves you money?:confused:

^ well, you don't have to buy a new PSU if you plugged your 110v-only unit into a 220v outlet :D

LOL, true, true.:D

......and if a frog had wings, it wouldn't bump it's ass when it hopped.

[deimos3428]

I really like the aesthetics of this PSU. Would love to see a review to know if it is functional, but I might buy one anyway just to look at it.

[Smoothie]

I really like the look of Antec's new High Current Pro series. Man that 1000W unit is the same size as the 850w/750w.

I'll be replacing my M12D with either Antec's HCP 1000W, Seasonic's X 1000W or Enermax's Revo 87+ 1050W.

[Travis]

There's no "Revo 87+ 1050W". There will be Revo 85+ 1020W and "87++" 1100W.
