While having never actually owned a piece of raidmax hardware before, the many features offered in it’s

RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-530SS

are what slides it into position as the power source for this years PC.

1. At 530watts, it’s actually rated lower than my current power supply(A 580watt diablotek) but when you consider I’m moving from a more power hungry, heat intensive Pentium D 900 Series processor, to a Core II Duo, you’ll understand Why I’m not sweating it. Plus, for Now the machine will only have a single PCI-E card, which I hope to crossfire later this year, so no worries about wattage here.
2. It’s completely Modular. Meaning that everything but the motherboard connections can be removed from the PSU body. This is awesome because Inside that antec 900 case, I plan to have some truly Massive airflow.
3. It boasts connectors for more than enough sata and molex devices, certainly more than I plan on using at least, as well as having two PCI-E power connectors, if I do get around to crossfiring my system.
4. At only $49.99 these beast is a steal, I can remember dream about modular power supplies, so to actually own my own, god, its exhilarating.
5. It’s black with blue LED’s, which meshes perfectly with my Antec 900 case.

Im not quite sure What Part I’ll be ordering next, but I have picked them out. So stay tuned, and I’ll post pictures as panther (working title) comes togeather.
