Seasonic. it does use lesser caps but for the market its geared for it looks pretty good. wish they had this when I redid my dads. It is rated for a lower temp if I recall.

the key will be price, its no good that its cheaper than the VX450 because it is both lower wattage and uses lesser grade components than the rest of the Corsair range. (3year warranty vs 5year is saying a bit IMO)
VX450 is already a cheap price as it is

I get the filling that they thought they were missing an entry level point product. Myself I don't see the need but I am not much in marketing. I HOPE its still good, one of the best points of Corsair was that you could recommend them without any reservations. You could not recommend a bad one. I hope this remains true

Yea but wait till buy.com, amazon start selling it. we could be seeing it for 30$ soon which would be a steal. Hell my rig could be powered by this thing. Good job corsair. I think they are trying to challenge Antec's Earth Watts.

That's what I'm thinking too. The C400 would be a major contender against the EA380 or EA500D at that price point ($30 to $50)
