This seems like a great deal for a modular power supply from a good company.

I've heard of problems out of these PSU's but I do believe those were limited to early revisions. I'm biting, I never had any problems out of my 480W Neo.

[ziddey]

haha nice. It's definitely not "worth" more than say $75 considering all the other better ones out there but for 50ar, it's a great deal!! For reference, bestbuy is selling these for 170 ;)

Kind of wish it had a big 120/140mm instead of an 80, but I can see the reason for it if anyone were to run two of them stacked or something. Fan is quiet though.

I bit. This will be my third HE550. Free ground shipping too.

Yup, anything rev A3 made after Nov. 2005 should be A-OK......

man, should I bite? I wish buy.com had the corsairs in stock.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Then I thought, this is cheaper before rebates even and I will never notice the difference. I bit.

I have one of these, and bought one for a build for family. They've been solid units. One is running the rig in my sig right now.

EDIT: Just an FYI, the Antec Neo HE 550 is built by Seasonic. Perhaps not to quite as demanding specs as Seasonic's own PSU's, but still pretty good.

Seeing how @ Newegg it's $85 AR and it has 3x +12v @ 18a - I bit :)

[redboy001]

I ordered one. Hope it's a decent power supply.

That's what I paid and I'd do it again. To the guy who said it's not worth more than $70...find me another sub $100 PSU w/ all the features. Modular, quiet, cool running, stable...it's perfect for single card setups.

It's powering the rig in sig @ 450/3600 right now.

[aznbumbaclot]

hmm, thanks OP. picked one up!

[xsoulbrothax]

Dammit! I was going to order this last night, and decided to wait until the morning since it wouldn't be shipping till now... and voila, the price is up $20. Augh.

[annaconda]

Expensive man. :D

Price is back down to $50 after MIR.

[Jodiuh]

Bump for the best deal I've seen in some time.

[annaconda]

Umm, Fry has Ultra 550 PSU FOR $39

Hahahah!

I'll put in my 2c:

This is a great psu and that's a great price for it :) Unless you're crossfiring x1900xt's or running a huge sli setup, this should be more than enough, and modular to boot.

[scatpack]

Its running my 8800GTX just fine in my Dimension9200.

[Tae]

I just fried the Antec 330 in my utility rig and was looking for something to replace it. This is a nice replacement.

I have an old Enlight 250watt powering it now, but since it has a 6600 GT in it, I think it needs more power...lol.

I think 2 major upgrades qualifies for scatpack9200, don't you? :p

[ghastly]

Does anyone have the rebate document? I stupidly didn't save it, and now I'm not able to locate the thing I need to print out.

Here ya go, I did the same earlier today and had to google a few different wordings to find it.

[ss284]

Has anyone actually tried running a pair of x1900xts or 8800gtss on this?
