Interesting to see how they have maintained the regular form factor for such a high power unit. The price is a bit too much for my tastes...lol. Nice to see the 50 C test rating. I seriously doubt that this unit can be quiet at 50 C!

It says 83% on the tech specs page, but it doesn't say if that's min, max or typical.

And .98 isn't unusual. At lower loads, large PSU's don't typically achieve > .99 PF. That's why many labels say, ">.96 PF" because at standby, the PSU is probably .96PF.

It's 230MM deep. That's 9" for those spawned from the Florida school system.

That's 60% larger than what I consider "standard."

I find it rather fuddish that they have to keep repeating that it "fits most ATX cases," but then makes you pull up the dimension/wiring diagram to find out the actual depth of the thing.

I'd still like to get my hands on one.

That is still very impressive at 50 C.

>$500 a piece. Be my guest Jonny. I sure as hell can't afford one. I could sell my room-mate for $100, but then that would be it.

No. It is specially handcrafted in a top secret clean room filled with atom splitting, dam building engineers and physicists. They even have a christening ceremony where the housing is kissed by a golden goose.

All of this just happens to be located within the Win-Tact factory.. that's all. But it's not BUILT BY Win-Tact.

I thought it was given a golden shower...

Seriously, I'm getting a bit tired on all the FUD surrounding the G80 that's being fed by things like this PSU.
