They are not likely to be honest in the matter. I asked for a power supply that would run Two 8800gtx cards although I could only afford to purchase one at the time. I now find although the power supply is a 720w it only has two 15 amp rails. This is nowhere near the spec required for sli use. The spec is at least 2 30amp rails.
I have just ordered a Thermaltake Toughpower 1000w power supply. It has four rails. 2 at 20amp and 2 at 36amp. More likely to do the job.
The firm seemed Legit at the time but I have been conned. The power supply they fitted retails at £45.00. The One I am buying retails at over £200.00. But I have managed to get one for £140.00 which is a great deal.
I never did intend to have it repaired under warranty as I would have to pack it up and send it back. I would rather just buy the bits if necessary. I didn't imagine any trouble anyway.
I should have plenty of surplus power when I get this in the case. No wondering if it is big enough. I would have ordered one in the first place but the largest supply they listed was the 720w. They told me it would do the job! Obviously wrong information. They must be novices.


Forums are usually very helpful and the members are usually more knowledgable and honest with their views!
Enough said!
