Hey everyone, Just thought I'd share this. Basically I went to Bestbuy looking for the TX-750 I had seen there before but instead found these new "Gamer Series" PSU's. I picked up the 700w version for 119.99$ figuring it can't be too bad considering Corsairs reputation.

I guess I'm just looking to see if anyone else has ever seen or used one of these.
The Corsair Gaming Series GS700 power supply is the ideal price-performance solution for building or upgrading a Gaming PC. A single +12V rail provides up to 56A of reliable, continuous power for multi-core gaming PCs with multiple graphics cards. The ultra-quiet, dual ball-bearing fan automatically adjusts its speed according to temperature, so it will never intrude on your music and games.
Choose Your Color

Tri-color LEDs illuminate the transparent fan blades at your command. Choose red, white or blue for the appropriate dramatic effect, or turn them off entirely at the press of a button

Its an OK unit it seems...Just above Corsair's bottom of the barrel.

CX - entry level, very cheap units. Will meet all ATX specs.
GS - Gamer line. LED fans, higher wattage. Will meet all ATX specs at 40C. 3 year warranty.
TX - Overclocker/enthusiast line. Good price performance ratio. Better warranty (5 year)
HX - High-end line. Better efficiency (bronze or higher), better warranty (7 year), semi-modular cables.

As for the OEM, I believe the GS is a CWT without the restriction on all-japanese caps that the TX and HX have.
 
90v minimum input is nice, the 400cx has that too. It noticeably helps get through brownouts without restarting.
