"Not long ago, VIA released KT-400A chipset to "challenge" Nvidia's hold on socketA market. However, we only saw a handful of boards based on KT-400A chipset, as everybody knew that KT-600 was on its way. Hence, it should be any surprises that we bring you the review of Gigabyte GA-7VT600, based on KT-600 chipset."

Today we will be reviewing a "silent" power supply from a company named Seasonic. Seasonic was founded in 1975 to produce test equipment, regulated DC power supplies and insulation puncture test equipment.

Sunbeam Rheobus Review @ GruntvillE.com

"The unit we received had the Silver, drilled aluminum faceplate and was marked to have Blue and Red LEDs. Upon opening the box I was pleasantly surprised. The unit comes with a detailed manual, mounting screws, template for drilling, product catalog and an assortment of wire adapters. It had (2) 3-pin to 4-pin adapters, (1) 3-pin to 3-pin extension and a Y-splitter. Not everything for everyone but certainly enough to get most off to a good start."
