Hmm, well I'd just go with the Corsair 750w to be safe

blech..... Newegg reviews..... may as well ask a 12 year old what he thinks about using a 31x10.50x15 tire compared to a 265R75/15

Well said! NEVER EVER put any stock in the Newegg reviews - half are complete lies and the other half are made up.

I know Antec are usually rock solid when it comes to performance and reliability, and thats probably the case with this PSU. But a big issue IMO with the TruePower Trio's is the inability to remove any of the power cords.

I currently have the 430w version in my rig and have huge cable management issues.

Well... that's sort of off topic because the True Power Quattro IS modular (i.e. has removable cables). For the record, the Corsair does not.

There's about 50/50 on the market with and without modularity. You can't crap on the True Power Trio for not being modular. If you wanted Antec quality in a modular power supply, you should have gone with the NeoPower (which is essentially a modular Trio.)

I was a major **** when I purchased my Trio.

I am actually getting a Antec P190 + 1200 that includes both a 550 +650w Neo PSU.

I know. Those things could have powered my house.

I was going to get them coz its a good offer, but have since changed my mind and brought a TruePower quattro 1000w. It was actually a couple of pound cheaper than the 850w version @ eBuyer and only about £20 more at most over places. So I slashed out to save future headaches. Atm I'm probably using about 400w and only about 600w once I get a better GPU. But you never know what the future might bring.
