Zippy Emacs GSM-6600P G1 600w PSU
Conclusion
Published: 6th October 2006 | Source: Zippy Emacs | Price: |
Without a doubt, the GSM-6600P is one very impressive unit. Zippy Emacs have set a new standard in computer PSU design, showing that stable power and looks can co-exist in one package.
What's more impressive than the GSM-6600P's looks, is its ability to produce rock solid power output with little to no fluctuation exhibited on all of the rails. In addition to this, the voltages are actually set very close to the rail standards (+3.33v rail @ 3.35v, +5v rail @ 5.01v, +12v rail @ 12.04v) unlike many other manufacturers that set their rail voltages as high as possible to compensate for potential droop.
To top the package off, the GSM-6600P is also one of the most efficient power supplies we've ever tested here at Overclock3D, managing a very respectable 84.5% efficiency rating.
Zippy Emacs units are now being stocked over at Specialtech with the GSM-6600P retailing for around £95.
Pro's

I certainly hope they manage to make it out into the market with some reasonable pricing. IMO they have some of the best units i've ever tested.

I must admit having to resist the temptation to mention bungle and george.....
OMFG I do believe for that performance this thing is a steal. You wanna know why? MyAOpen.com has them for the price of... $169!!!!!!!. With about $15 shipping, end up only being 185, cheaper than PCP&C 510! :eek::eek::eek:

that means it will end up to atleast 350 over here making it way to expensive.

You use the Euro right? I think you're confused about where I live. The price I stated was in USD, not GBP. Thus, it would actually be cheaper for you (sans shipping of course), about 150E.

I think what he means is that by the time they get here the price doubles, we have shipping then import tax, then VAT then the poor soul who actually sells them has to put a bit on, he probably makes less than the VAT. There is quite a lot of expense in retailing in the UK.
thats right Kimandsally.
the tax on hardware is 25% for example so its not cheap.
buying from countries outside EU isnt cheap either, high chance of getting charged 25% of the total value + an additional fee.
