Kingwin LZP-1000 1000W Power Supply Review
By Paul Johnson January 04, 2012Kingwin does not bring a huge number of power supplies for review, but when it does bring one to our attention it is usually a very worthy competitor.

By Paul Johnson November 30, 2011Professional Series power comes to us this time from Corsair in the form of its new HX1050.

Seasonic Platinum-1000 1 Kilowatt Power Supply Review
By Paul Johnson November 01, 2011Seasonic breaks the Platinum efficiency barrier with its new 1 kilowatt computer power supply. We generally know if it has Seasonic branding, it is a good PSU. But we all want to know if it is a great PSU. We all know that Seasonic means "quiet" as well and believe it or not this PSU can be dead silent.

By Paul Johnson August 30, 2011Topower steps into the big leagues with its new 1000 watt "Gold" power supply that is part of its Nano Series PSUs.

Thermaltake Level 10 GT Computer Chassis Review
By Marc Adams July 08, 2011While certainly not new The Thermaltake Level 10 is still very much an eye catching and original chassis. Thermaltake has updated this chassis icon with the new Level 10 GT. This time the price is down in the mid-$200 making this GT a lot easier on the wallet than the previous Level 10. Is there function to its form, or is it all show?
Raidmax RX-1000AE 1000W Power Supply Review
By Paul Johnson February 23, 2011Raidmax touts its new RX-1000AE as being a PSU that is "environmentally friendly." Given the fact that it boasts an 80 Plus Gold Certified rating, it is poised to supply us with some of the best efficiency levels we have ever seen out of PSU, much less one that hits the 1 kilowatt mark.

By Paul Johnson February 07, 2011Xigmatek once again comes out swinging in the 1 kilowatt PSU arena. This is not an easy level to perform out, but you have to give Xigmatek credit for again trying. Will its new "Go Green" PSU be up to the task of our gauntlet?

By Paul Johnson September 08, 2010Efficiency as a goal. Future CPU proof and future GPU proof as a goal. Enermax has set the bar high and that is what we like to see out of one of our favorite PSU companies. Does the new Revolution85+ bound over that bar or just limbo under it?

By Paul Johnson June 23, 20101000 watts of Gold Rated 80 Plus+ power is not something that you find in the PSU market every day, but with the new GPUs swallowing mass amounts of power, the PSU guys are going to have to step up with better units.

By Paul Johnson November 04, 2009No matter how you look at it, 1 kilowatt, or 1000 watts, it is a lot of power that most computer enthusiasts will never need.
