Corsair 550VX

w00t! So after a good 2 weeks of going back and forth and researching every PSU under the sun, I did not get the 500W PC P&C. Instead I went with the Corsair CMPSU-550VX. I figured it would give me a little more headroom in the chance that there are any more upgrades to my system as is in the future.

Yay, I'll be able to run my PC with the Case Door back on with the fans running. And my DVD Drive.
