Uber Sweetness Baby! One question though Rodney does this X-Connnect have a 20 or 24-pin power connector?

Great looking PS.
Was this the first company to ever design a modular PS and mass producing it? Cuz I know all the other companies soon followed suit

Oh yeah!!! me likes I've been thinking about trying one of these out for
a while now. To answer Cj Cummingz's question I do believe Ultra was
the first one to come up with the ideal.

I think Antec was the first company to come up with the modular idea, when they introduced the Antec NeoPower Power Supply.

Yea Performance PC's did the modular thing long before Ultra or Antec, but I think Ultra was the first company to do it from the factory....

The specs on this PSU are impressive and the looks, well theres no question, the X-Connect looks wicked. I would really like to put this in my system and see how nice and clean my case would become (and also see if temps drop). Now I've read they are not as reliable as Antec or Enermax but I have heard of no horror stories from anyone I know personally. My buddy is gettin a 400W version from TigerD.ca. I will get his opinion of it in not too long.

BTW gameman, these giveaways rock!
I really would love to win one *crosses fingers tightly*
Best of luck to everyone!

I believe they are now being shipping with one If not, a 20-24 pin connector will not break the bank

I passed on this contest because, well, I already have one.

It sits in my closet as a spare. It is ok, but honestly I have better ones installed on my systems now with proper 24-pin connectors.
