Case PSU Combo

Of course, but honestly, I take Newegg reviews with a grain of salt. Most of the reviews on there are worthless. Much rather consider someone's advice in this forum if they happen to know something about it.
 
More than likely that Lian Li PSU is Sirfa made. Sirfa PSUs range from crap to meh. So don't bother with it. Not worth the cash.

Too bad Lian doesn't put even a fraction of the care and quality they have in their cases into their PSUs.
 
Thanks, Danny. Makes me wish I would have jumped on the Lian Li/Seasonic combo deals that Newegg was pushing a few months ago.

No prob.

Well you could still get a quality PSU and a Lian Li case for the exact same price as the Lian Li case/PSU combo:
$90 - Lian Li PC-A05NB mini Tower case
$80 - Antec Earthwatts 650W PSU
----
Total: $170

The Antec EA650 is far superior to that Lian Li 650W PSU and has about the same amount of power on the +12V rail.
 
Nice, but wasn't there a thread not to long ago about a EA650 burning up a guy's new build? I'm kinda leaning towards a 750TX if I can't find any good deals. Although, I've heard some good things about the OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W $70 after $30MIR.

The ModXStream Pro 700W is not that good of a PSU as evident by HardOCP's review of it.. The EA650 is still of significantly better quality than the ModXStream Pro.

As for the EA650 killing a person's PC, that's just one incident. That's the only case on this forum AFAIK of a EA650 doing that. And we've been recommending that PSU since October of 2008. So yeah, no need to worry about the EA650 killing your system.

But the 750TX is definitely a good choice if you can swing the extra cash for it.
 
As lt_shiro pointed out in another thread, the Antec TP New 550W is also $80 w/FS, and provides the same amount of amperage on the +12V rail... bonus: its modular. ;)
