CORSAIR is not making much noise about it but it is about to step in to the Power Supply unit business.
It is a cool thing to do and it seems everyone wants the part of the action. We saw Zalman doing it and now Corsair is set to follow suit. Its memory competitor OCZ has also been flogging its own Power Supply Units for a while and has had quite some success with it.
Corsair is keeping quiet but it won't be long before you see Corsair-branded Power Supply Units. We hear it wants to jump in to the high-end market rather than entry-level.
With the crazy power requirements of dual or even quad graphic card systems, powered with a lot of memory and a very power-demanding CPU you need as much juice as your local substation can kick out.
High-end systems require at least a 600W PSU to run without any troubles.
Not so long ago we were using 140W PSUs for powering the whole system, together with the display. Those times are fading away. µ
