OCZ PowerStream 520W

[0V3RC10CK3D]

Hey, so i've read a lot about this power supply and i plan on getting it to work with my DFi Lanparty UT nF4 Ultra-D motherboard since i've heard good things about the pair, but i cant find a decent price for it online and newegg keeps raiseing theirs it's $140 on their site now, does anyone know where i can get it cheaper? Or have any comments about it?

if i'm not wrong the ocz is oem'd by Topower (made by Topower) .. Topower also makes the Tagan line of PSUs ... the Tagan U22 480 is very similar internally to the Powerstreams... and it meets the DFI requirements for watts and native 24pin .. you can get one for about 90bucks at newegg

as far as getting a cheap powerstream .. don't really know .. start with these

I personally wouldn't get either .. i got my eye on the second gen Ultra Xfinity 500w w/ 120mm fan.. you can get one for as little as 60 bucks and they are every bit as good as the Tagan's and Powerstreams ...

look here for a good deal on Xfinity unit ..www.overcool.com

here's a similar situation where you have a oem and retail company selling almost if not the exact same supply ... this time it is the silverstone strider 600w that normally goes for around 150 is OEM'd by Enhance which sells no doubt the same exact unit for 100.
