OC3D Review: Zippy Emacs GSM-6600P G1 600w PSU

[JN]

"Zippy Emacs are a name that only the most informed computer enthusiasts among us would have heard of. Today I'll be taking a look at their 600w GSM-6600P(G1) PSU as they make their way into the mainstream market."

EDIT: Oh, and it would appear that this is a world exclusive too

Now that is a 1337 PSU, wow... Sweet results! Nice review Jim. Dugg.

damn those are nice results, any ideas as to what we're looking at in terms of retail prices?

At the moment I'm not really sure. OC3D are personally pushing to get the unit over in the UK, and hopefully you should see them in small quantities soon.

I like what they've done with the appearance, using the black aluminum case and all, very nice touch. I'm used to the plain boring steel enclosures that they usually use, this is a pleasant upgrade. And wow those rails are solid.

Once they start emerging in the states holler @ me and I'll see if I can't get one shipped over to ya.

Damn! that psu is rock solid,what a way to go on the first retail power supply units they are making

do i see stiff competition for pcp&c??

Zippy are huge OEM's so I think PCP&C can start looking over their shoulders

 

[WC Annihilus]

I've actually heard around at points that Zippy makes PCP&C PSUs but I've also heard that they make their own so I really can't be sure. Anyways, Zippys seem to be in general only available at server stores (as that's what Zippy mainly does, build beastly server PSUs) and they can put a fairly large dent in your pocket. I think I've seen a link or 2 around of the server version (same thing, just doesn't have the "gaming power" title to it) so I can look it up if you want

They make their own & some of PCP&C...

Zippy > PCP&C!!

dugg!!

/me wonders if they will come to this side of the pond.

looked like a decent psu from several aspects.

 

[JN]

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.

Not to metion one of the coolest names

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!

end up only being 185,

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.
