Well, I’ve been having some weird power issues with my main system, so I figured it was time to replace my old Rosewill with something a little more robust. I wanted to go modular, but I wanted something that would match my silver/red scheme. I wound up buying the Hiper Type-R 580W from Xoxide.com. Here’s a pic of mine:
And here’s a picture of the installation:
It’s a very nice design with modules for pretty much anything. I was able to connect the six pin power connector for my 6800 GT, the four pin connector on my motherboard, and it conveniently let me daisy-chain my optical drives and SATA hard drive. Hopefully this will prove to be more stable over time, as well. Tom’s Hardware has a decent review here. Feel free to ask any questions or post some thoughts in the comments.






It’s already better. No more weird restarts, no more boot problems. This is a solid power supply. Plus my system looks wicked sweet now. If only I had a case window. . .
