    I recantly bought an Asus E616P2 from my friendly Newegg e-tailer. I already have an E616P1 in another system so I figured why not get the newest model for my own?

    My 480w Antec True took a shit on me this week after only 1 1/2 years. How many others out there have a high dollar PSU only last this long? My first idea it had problems, was when it would freeze by just "clicking" on an item. I wouldn't even have to start a game or anything. Then my...
