Let us hope that this is the first of many "known good" PSU's form TT! :)
Dave ;)

EDIT:

Added to the general, modular & SLI recommended list.
 
Thanks Dave!

And no offense to Newegg or the Newegg Zealots, but...

eWiz has them for $20 less at $99: http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?p=PS-W0057

Which means if you're a reseller you can get them even cheaper from MA Labs (same company as eWiz.)

I have to give props to xPCgear.com too. They're out of them now, but when they first came out they were the only ones that had them in stock and had them at the lowest price. ;)

W00t!! Thank you guys! We're shutting down/discontinuing our "Not recommended" lineups meanwhile. =) We are really trying to work on our PSU lineup.
 
I can't get over the fact that the Thermaltake guy just used the term "w00t!" :D :D :D
