Introduction
With the introduction of SLI, Crossfire and Dual Core processors, it is becoming increasingly apparent that you cant cut corners when it comes to selecting a power supply.
Without clean and stable voltages, your computer simply won't function correctly, and may even cause damage to your precious components.
Today i'm going to be looking at the Thermaltake Purepower 600w PSU, which has some very impressive specifications for a power supply in its price range. Will it be good enough to power a top end power hungry, water cooled, SLI rig? Read on to find out...
Packaging
The packaging is simple but effective. The front of the box clearly shows all of the supported system types along with a nice picture of the power supply. Flip the box around, and you can see information on all of the connectors, and the combined rated amperage of the +12v rails.
Inside the box you will find a generic power cord and screws, the user manual, and the power supply covered in bubble wrap to protect the mirror finish. The bulk of cables are all held together neatly with a cable tie.

Ooh, very nice review. Nice to see that at least one TT PSU can do something 
Just a thing about the prices, I think we should include USD, GBP, AUD, and EURO prices so it branches out to everyone. Just an opinion though.

Added and forgive me for forgetting.
Its great to also see that it has an 8 pin mobo connector which is a requirement of the SLI-DR expert
Yea it was a suprising result as TT PSU's generally dont get many mentions on hardware forums, but i'd say that it could easily keep up with my Tagan 580w.
Outstanding review mate. The TT looks uber sexy, and has provided some good healthy results. 
'Grats to you.
'Grats to you.might have missed it but didnt se any numbers on the efficiency of the psu.
otherwise it looked good.
