Is Hyper a good brand of psu manufacturer?

I have one of these in mine , mainly because of the "Dual 12V outputs, for stability and safety"  - http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=22481

[CatMangler]

Hyper 580's are good, I've got 1 as well

Nice spec mrapoc, I'm in the market for a new rig myself but cant stretch to a Conroe just yet

[mrapoc]

cool

[Jeff]

Cooler still if you stuck the lot in here

[mrapoc]

omfg i want1!

[AvengerUK]

Hey, I have that exact PSU, and id sware by it - best ive bought

Rest of the rig is nice to! Minus the intel, but thats cus im biased lol

for the record, my system is: AMD 64 4000+, 2GB Geil dual channel, Hiper type-r 580, X1800XT 512, 1 80gb ide and 1 80bg sata - the PSU keeps all this going at a stable rate, especially on the +12v, so your system would be fine with this psu - even tho it might take up around 10-15% more power

[mrapoc]

no problems at all?
is it easy to keep the cables tidy or sould i get modular?

[AvengerUK]

it is modular...(modular means u just plug in what u need right?!)

[mrapoc]

yea - is it  oh coolio then

[CatMangler]

mrapoc have you got it all yet, is it built?

[mrapoc]

no ive decided to wait for more motherboards to come out - every1 thats out atm has a flaw and i want a overall winner  8)

btw the e6600 beats the FX 62 on quite a lot of benchies

[AvengerUK]

Yea but its intel...dont fund the evil empires!

(Intel, Microsoft & apple)

[mrapoc]

lol but you gotta give them praise - 6 years of being beaten and finally they have produced a gamers cpu

[AvengerUK]

True...but it did take tham 6 years....lol

[CatMangler]

The conroe's do look pretty cool tho, from my browsing I note that you can get an E6300 to overclock to almost the same speeds as an E6800 

What do you guys think of this spec:

E6300
Gigabyte DS3
G.Skill HZ PC-6400
Not decided yet but prolly a 7900GT

Thoughts?

[AvengerUK]

Anything but a 7900GT - the chips on the whole are flawed in many many ways, research it @ http://forums.guru3d.com

[mrapoc]

im dropping down to a 7600gt until the dx10 come out...no point getting a top of the range gfx card if ur gonna upgrade soon

[CatMangler]

Hmm as mrapoc says I'm also considering dropping my order to a ATI Radeon X1800 XT until the new cards are out, whenever that is.

This is a bit OT given we're in 'kick-ass' territory but I've had innumerable boxes cluttering up my study for years now in varying states of build/rebuild/assimilation etc etc 

They've variously run my website/email/ftp server and game server for when we nerds managed to get together for Lan's. I've finally bitten the bullet and am going for a desktop replacement notebook...this one infact.

I've doubled the ram and put in the faster 100gb discs but other than that it's going to (hopefully) be a 'do-it-all' machine that's not whirring away like mental ! But the main attraction has been the CPU's lower TDP than the Athlons and twin GPU's....mmmmm polygons    Being built as we speak - can't wait to boot 'er !

Thoughts ?

Ive just got a X1800XT - truth is direct x 10 is a long long way away! - Even when its released the cards will be non-exsistant/expensive (500+) and buggy :/
