THose are all decent choices on the PSUs but I am paying $90 for the Xclio and these are almost twice the price.

The Xigamatek looks identical to the Xclio and I would not bne surprised if the same MFR makes them for both outfits.

Although the Egg does stock the Mugen I gave my business to Petras just for the helluva it. Gotta keep the little guys alive somehow.
For $10 more you are a generous man .

I'll see if I can get the Egg to take the Xclio off my list. I've been hearing a lot of good about Corsair here and on XS.

Very TRUE but this is $40 which is i7 ready and includes a fan, if you buy the TRUE 1366 its $75 + whatever supplies you need for lapping. nearly double the price for 2-3C is not my idea of a smart buy.
