FINALLY getting a new power supply!

[The VCR King]

Turns out the 600 watt EVGA is at my local Best Buy and it's on sale for $34.99! I'm ordering it and having it shipped to store tonight! YAY!

This may be premature, but it's about !@#$%& time!

OMG this day has come! Is this actually happening? Woohooo!

Oh, ya better believe it! Due to family plans I'm buying it tomorrow since Best Buy is down the street from our grocery store, but I'll post pics of the progress as I remove the old unit and put in the new one!

At this point a simple, resized before/after will suffice..

You throwing a party to celebrate? Am I invited? I think you should invite @Darren since he told you about that EVGA unit!

Should get a playlist going on your PC and then 'BOOOMMMM* yay a giant party popper with fireworks!

No no, let's use my old Cougar PSU as the party popper! Make some real noise!

They've had that same model at BB for as low as $24.99 after MIR for awhile now. Almost grabbed one myself... just because. It's a good deal, basically a rebranded FSP HEC unit.

Congrats

That's what I was intending on doing.

Guys I got good news. I couldn't get the EVGA so I got something even better! I got a Thermaltake 650-watt smart supply on sale for $50! Better supply and more wattage than the EVGA! Yay!

Which specific model?

Which specific model?

Idk but it's the 650 watt smart performance series. I'm going to remove the crappy Cougar and begin installing the Thermaltake soon.

This one most likely.

Which is amazingly a decent unit.
