Corsair VX450W Power Supply Review
"Corsair is a traditional memory manufacturer they gained a lot of respect in the industry with their power supplies – we reviewed HX620W and TX750W and they are terrific products. But how the entry-level series from Corsair, dubbed VX, performs? Today we will take the most inexpensive power supply from Corsair, VX450W, and completely disassemble it and see if it can really deliver its labeled power."

Zalman ZM1000-HP 1000w PSU
"Many leading companies have recently diversified into the power supply market and another to join the fold is Zalman, a company mostly known for their cooling solutions. Zalman have released several high end units lately and today we will examine the most expensive unit they currently produce, the ZM1000-HP. There are a few things about the ZM1000-HP which make it unique but the most important of them is the cooling system. Zalman have used their expertise with cooling to create a heatpipe system able to keep the powerful 1000w power supply cool and silent at the same time."

Antec Truepower Quattro TPQ-1000 Review
"The Antec Quattro 1000 comes in a plain white box with just the companies name and a 1000 on the front just to let you know what size unit this is. The rear panel list the connections that the power supply comes with as well as the some of the specifications. The term 80+ is defined on the rear panel."

Zalman ZM360B-APS Power Supply Review
"Zalman has a complete line of power supplies from 360 W to 1,000 W. We decided to take a look on the simplest model, ZM360B-APS, which costs only around USD 60. Even though it is an entry-level power supply, it features active PFC, a 120-mm fan and two video card power connectors, so things looked pretty spec-wise. But can it really deliver its rated 360 W? Is this a really good product for Average Joe? Let’s see."

Cooler Master Real Power Pro 1250 Watt Power Supply
"Since I was in elementary school, my dad has been an amateur (“ham”) radio operator. Most of his friends were and are electronics techs, either as a living or a hobby. I've personally dabbled in electronics for decades, and last year I finally made my dad's 40 year dream of having his son get his own ham license come true. So needless to say, electronics technical jargon is about as familiar to my ears as my own name.

So when I read maybe 1.5 years ago that a company familiar to most of us built the first one kilowatt (1kW) PC power supply, I was really impressed. Yes, deep inside I probably agreed with most people that no one would ever need a power supply that large, but so what? If I'd had the cash, I would have bought one just to say I had it. “How big is your power supply?” “1kW!” Sorry, I feel that is extreme coolness.

Who would have thought at that time of a setup using something like three or four 8800 Ultras? Even a pair of those power hungry babies wouldn't get enough power from probably 90% or more of the PSUs on the market today. Could anyone have imagined a multiple GPU video card like the 9800GT2, much less running them in SLI? To answer the call for that kind of power, our friends at Cooler Master have launched the new flagship of their Real Power Pro line, the Real Power Pro 1250, and we will be looking at one today."

Sparkle Power's 250W ATX12V 80 Plus SPI250EP
"The SPI250EP appears at first glance to be a throwback to computer technology nearly a decade ago. What's a measly 250W-rated, generic-looking ATX12V power supply doing in a website for PC enthusiasts in 2008? Look more closely and you'll see the number "80" that's part of the 80 Plus logo, which identifies the product as a modern power supply >80% efficient at all loads from 20% of rated power all the way to full power."
