The Corsair hx1000 isn't a Seasonic. It's a CWT.

All of the HX series are Seasonic (520,620, and 1000).

What's up with this, Sata connector pulled right out?
I wish the Corsair had a dedicated fan cable like my Ultra has.
Makes for less clutter when connecting case fans.

That definitely states a strong case that you're right. +rep to you! However, if you see JonnyGuru before I do, double check with him that the 1000HX isn't Seasonic. I swear I've read him state that it was. I was under the impression that Seasonic made all of the HX series, but maybe not.

It's cool, I've found a list to help me keep track of OEMs since it can get confusing sometimes http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=205763. If you look at it's internals, even I can recognize it as the CWT PUH line, also seen in Xigmatek and Thermaltake Toughpower 1kW+ units. It's a pretty unique PSU and hard to miss.

No, they were the NeoPower serie from Antec. The first one was the NeoPower 480 and the second one was the NeoPower 550. The NeoPower serie is also made by SeaSonic.
