RAIDMAX RX-850SS 850W ATX12V 2.2V / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Active PFC Modular LED Power Supply

Pros: Lots of cables, and modular. Nice blue light...I guess, never seen it in person.

Cons: Hooked it up like my other modular psu before, and hit the power button on the tower...BANG!....that's all I heard. Nothing else happened.

Overall Review: Fortunately this thing didn't take out anything on my system. Xclio 380plus tower ASUS m3a78-t mobo AMD 9950 BE 2.6ghz (OC to 3.0ghz) 8g g-skill ddr2(6400) CL 4 ASUS/ATI 4870 1g graphics x1(so far) 64 bit OS

I know its old tech. Works great

Pros: Clear picture,controls are very easy to use. Multiple connection options. My system is over ten years old, and these work perfectly and keeps me in the game as it were.

Cons: None of any consequence

Overall Review: Good value for older systems, easily.

Great value

Pros: Reasonable size for a budget tower. Good placement and use of space even with a full size atx board. No complaints. everything fit good. running a huge 3.0 graphics card and 1300w psu, sound card, 5 ssd's, 2 bluray drives and added one fan from the old tower(which was a massive xclio 360) and this thing breaths well and keeps nice temps for an air cooled setup squeezed in there. Its a full house but stays nice and cool. There is room in there. Its like a Tardis. Room on board side case panel to hide a lot of cabling. I have hidden all my cabling and the PSU has a lot all by itself. my GPU has maxed out at 67c(auto fan control) 60c on manual override and CPU at 52c and that's running stuff like Star citizen.

Cons: The fans aren't top end but...again its a good value and fans are a popular size and thus easy to upgrade or to water cooling of needed.

Overall Review: Get what you pay for. It was well worth the money. It ain't pretty but, very effective and efficent.

Looks great

Pros: It worked well at first.

Cons: I unplugged this bad boy while the system was on. Plugged back in, and lost all connection to it minus lights. powered down and brought system back up, and it worked again. BUT I couldnt get the profile to reload. I tried everything. Drivers, software, firmware updaate(firmware update doesnt recognise this one...). I tried calling tech support. Phone message stated they were open until 5:30pm PST. but when I called back at that time it just dropped me off the line everytime I hit the number. I contacted the operator and she said they are 3pm pst. I have had no luck with their knowledge base on these issues and need tech support when i'm not at work. Are these guys bankers?? They must be at the prices they are charging for these things, and not giving easy access live support...

Overall Review: I wouldn't be that mad if I could reach tech support. I mean the knowledge base has a thumbs up/down system, and none of them have a rating over a single star(meaning alot of thumbs down) For the price of these things you might think, "Hey I bought into a great thing here. Good equipment, and good service." I have to say I have owned a razer product for almost 5 years. Never had an issue with it but drooled over this one here for about 2 years thinking this is the mouse for me. I paid alot for that one. 90$, but this madcatz thing is very fustrating. I like it, I do but the software is not reliable at all which=overpriced junk if you can't program it. I will return this thing if I can't get some support.
