LOL man i think that as future proof as its going to get. I mean will we ever need a 2000 watt PS? Wont things get smaller and aquire less power?

Two mediocre Topowers in one box isn't future proof. It's a warranty claim waiting to happen :p

This should just about power 2 Nvidia 280s right? Man... 650 bucks for that sucker.

the total power is the sum of the each voltage rail power which is print on the lable of psu, it is dc power. do you even understand how psu working? my problem is for when psu use ac to convert to dc, you only can use less than 700 watt ac power, even with power factor is 1, the total possiable dc power is 700 watt, so where is the 2000w? go check rest power supply made by pc power and cooling, silverstone and so on, check how they rate their psu draw current out of wall socket, the ac current * 120 volt will be over their total power, why?

uh WHAT YOU SAY???

Unfortunately, the bad boy is just that..plain bad. Trust topower to jury-rig something like this...:-/

I love the reviews too, classic stuff.

2000 watts? With a 110-120v household outlets they are typically rated 15A max and that would be 16090 to 1800 watts. If anyone uses 2k psu to the max, they will have to either upgrade their 110v wiring for a 20A outlet or use 220v instead.

Pros: I had a 200 watt psu before this, and my p3 geforce 4 mx just couldnt run without constant reboots. After buying this it still has the rebooting issue. Idk if its my super computer or the local energy, but my energy bill is also $4000. I would suggest looking into some of the new nuclear reactor psu's from Corsair.
Cons: It reboots, isnt nuclear
Other Thoughts: p3 oced to 600 mhrtz, 256mb ddr overclock'd, asus geforce 4 mx 2gb version oced to 300 mhrtz, 10tb semengate drive 10 rpm
2 out of 14 people found this review helpful. Did you?

Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!


hahahahaahahaahahaa :screwy:

They intend you to connect to two different circuits to get full power. Even a 20A 115V circuit won't service two mediocre 1kW Topowers running at full tilt.

is there a case that can fit this beastie?
looks really big.
so things like these are the reasons for greenhouse gas :)

The PSU is separate, a 'power bus' goes into the case, which is connected to from the seperate unit.
