INTRODUCTION
In this age of computers, a power supply unit is often times an overlooked part of the computer, but if you decide to cheap out and your whole system gets fried you will be hating yourself because of that decision. Often times it is hard to decide on a PSU. You don't want to waste money on getting too much wattage if you don't need to use it. But then again, you also don't want to come up short and not have enough juice to run everything in your PC. Today, Corsair brings us a 1000 watt PSU that offers spectacular reliability and plenty of power to run whatever you please. Corsair backs this PSU with an almost unheard of 5 year warranty, so you can be pretty sure that this will most likely not be the component in your system to give out during an intense gaming session.
Just because it performs well doesn't mean it can't look good while doing it. The black finish is a very nice touch that is sure to blend in with any black case. The blue label and plug-ins add to the overall feeling that I got with this PSU because my PC case has blue LED's, but making this PSU look good in any case should not be a problem.
