yeah that does put him in an interesting position

but I haven't seen any BFG stuff either

But that doesn't mean that wolf or madmat couldn't do some "independently" lol.

But then again there hasn't been any new exciting PSUs as of late. I am looking forward to a HX1000W corsair review though.

Yeah... they're getting there. I'd think twice before using a < 800W.

A power supply only puts out what's demanded of it. Your electric bill wouldn't change unless you added more parts to the PC.

Tazz is running the site with Wolf writing the reviews. Been that way for a while now.

BFG reviews on jG?

Well... it's been a while since Matt or Wolf popped out a review. Couple months or so? I'm sure one is due.
