Title: Seasonic X-850 80+ Gold Modular Power Supply for $100 AR

i paid $100 for my 750 watts like 6 months ago

i guess those didn't have a crappy MIR though, but this one says 'Receive a $20 mail-in rebate check from SeaSonic! Expires on 5/8/13 ', so I guess maybe at least it isn't one of those prepaid cards

yeah, i'm considering it myself... just to replace the 750 watt seasonic i use in my main computer.  guess i have about 36hrs to decide  ;D

but,

seeing as how the two new 750 watt models sold this month went for $130 and $160,  i guess you couldn't really go wrong

Yeah, could always ebay your old one, and it would be basically free.

much like the situation with 7850's and 7870's  ;D

well, tbh, i'm less than enthused about the 7870's... but the 7850's are definitely worth a used 5830

PSUs are much harder to sell on eBay than any other computer component (maybe besides cases).  Brand names like Corsair seem to sell a little easier than Antec, Seasonic, OCZ, PC P&C, Rosewill, or NZXT.

Hell I tried selling my Antec TPQ-1200 OC for $125 for several months before I eventually got a buyer.

Only Corsair is brand name? Seasonic is the top brand out there. My NZXT is Seasonic guts + 5 year warranty + 3-day replacement of failed units.

I love my 650W Modular Seasonic.  I've never had more than one video card in that system though.   May put 2x 7870 XT soon.

May get this need to see if I get paid for an ebay auction that ended (no faith lol)

Ya I've got the 650, and it's absolutely great. I might grab the 850 so I could throw an extra card or two in there... Hmm... ;)

Thanks for posting this.  Can always use a backup PS.

Bah, only 4x PCIe connectors. Piecing together some 3 card Litecoin rigs and these would be killer PSUs with 6x PCIe connectors.
