True enthusiasts know that their selection of power supplies is limited. High output units that deliver well over 1000W of power just don’t have the demand that the 700-850W units do and as such, we don’t see a new, full blown enthusiast grade power supply hit the market that often. Today, however, is one of [...]

Cooler Master NA90 Universal Notebook PSU Review
Notebooks have an unnecessarily hard life. People tote them just about everywhere, but most of them are no more rugged than a child’s plastic toy. In spite of batteries (or perhaps because of), people tether their portable computers to their power adapters all of the time, which have a tendancy to get tugged, pulled and bent, eventually resulting in [...]
