I listed my hx750 on ebay and got almost exactly what i paid for it originally!

What you pay a little extra for in price is obvious when looking at and using this item.

Shipping

Took it out, put back the original psu, returned the defective unit to amazon and then waited for the new one to arrive.

My biggest complaint came when reading the terms of the mail in rebate which states that the power-supplywill no longer be warr... Read More

Amazon, however, failed to ship this properly, but thankfully corsair did their part to secure it.

I gave this item 5 stars for the product, but not for the shipping.

Packaging/appearance

All in all corsair did a magnificent job on the product, and the packaging of it.

The cable management is fantastic, and the packaging of the product from corsair was outstanding.

), the psu comes wrapped in a velvet satchel, the packaging is over sized, and it's all heavily padded.

Competitiveness

I choose this psu based on wattage, brand and ratings.

This power supply is listed as one of the better series out there, so i purchased it.

I say 750+ because multiple reviews by reputable pc forums have shown the hx750w to be almost virtually identical to its hx850w sibling.

I have since purchased two ssds, this hx750 psu,h50 cpu cooler, and dominator ram.
