A First Look at the Power Supply:

The Antec True Blue 2.0 comes in a very nice retail style box. The exact model & wattage are clearly visible on the front, and a nice picture of the power supply illustrates the blue LEDs. All the various features and specifications are listed on the back and sides of the package.

This power supply includes a lot of cables, all of which have gold plated connectors. Cable length is approximately 22" from the PSU to the first connector. (Cables with multiple connectors are obviously longer.) Only the primary 24pin connector has sleeving, the rest are bundled nicely using zip-ties. Instead of having to use a 24pin-20pin adapter, the connector is one of those split 20+4pin models, where you can unhook the extra 4 pins from the main connector to fit on older style 20pin motherboards. A 3pin RPM wire is tied to the main 120mm PSU fan, so that it can be connected to the motherboard and monitored via your favorite software.

  • One (1) 24pin Main Power
  • One (1) 4pin ATX +12V
  • Two (2) 6pin PCI Express
  • Four (4) SATA
  • Five (5) 4pin Peripheral
  • Two (2) 4pin Floppy
  • Two (2) 4pin "Fan-Only"

Important Note: The TruePower 2.0 Fan Only connectors are designed to power standard fans only. Attaching thermally-controlled fans to these connectors will likely result in unpredictable and undesired behavior. Thermally-controlled fans should only be connected to the standard 4-pin Peripheral Power Connectors. Please do not connect more than three fans to the Fan Only connectors.

Dell Small Business - Dell Vostro 200 Slim Tower Computer with 2GHz Dual Core, DVD+/-RW and 160GB SATA Hard Drive for Only $329!
We've got 2 Dell Vostro desktop computer deals for you to look at this week:
  • HOT! The $299 desktop computer deal is still running, albeit on a different section of the site (it's like musical chairs,... but not as fun) and sitll comes with a 2.00GHz Dual Core processor, 1gb of memory and a 80GB hard drive. HOWEVER, the HOT deal is the Dell Vostro 200 offer you see for $444. Click on Customize It, keep the base package, and then go to Monitor and DESELECT the 19" LCD to drop that puppy down to just $329! For $30 more (compared to the other deal) you get a 160GB hard drive (which is bigger than the other one) and a dual layer DVD burner! DELL VOSTRO 200 SLIM TOWER DESKTOP COMPUTER DEALS
  • It's the same story with the Vostro 410 series. They've got a decently equipped Vostro for $549, however, choose the $694 unit right next to it, deselect the monitor, and within $30 of the lowest priced one, you get one that has a dual layer DVD burner as well as a bigger hard drive! I don't think these deals are supposed to be like this so if you want it, get it SOON. DELL VOSTRO 410 DESKTOP COMPUTER DEALS
