| 593864 | 2007-09-22 10:31:00 | Thermaltake is a big name psu manufacture but I would only buy their Toughpower range and newer range of psu's as their older range of psu's are not that great and they had a bad name from them until they got their act together and brought out the Toughpower range of psu which are good,but still not as good as Enermax.:lol: These are the big names in psu's I was talking about in no order at all: Cooler Master Silverstone Corsair OCZ Antec Enermax Agreed 100%. I just wanted to make that clear, because those who don't know any better won't know the difference between a Thermaltake and a Silverstone, for example, when both are probably equally well known. |

| 593866 | 2007-09-27 00:39:00 | How would you go about that? Splice into the wires on an existing connector?? You wouldn't need to splice the wires, you can buy connectors that Y split the power, and most new PSU are powerful enough to handle additional loads as they are well over 30a |

| 593867 | 2007-09-27 02:47:00 | Big names aren't everything. An example would be Thermaltake, which mostly make very unimpressive power supplies. I have a Thermaltake Toughpower 750wat PSU, and it has served me very well. I take it you have had bad experiences with them? |

| 593869 | 2007-09-27 03:01:00 | I have a Thermaltake Toughpower 750wat PSU, and it has served me very well. I take it you have had bad experiences with them? No, toughpowers are good. They also, however, make a low-quality range of PSUs, their "dual fan" ones without any other model name specified. |
