WTB: 750 - 1000w PSU

**kris23** · Aug 19, 2009, 12:23 AM

hey guys...... just wondering if anyone has a decently used PSU of the high-end range that they would be able to sell for a reasonable price?

something with 4 or more PCI-E 6/8-pin PCI-E would be best (6 if you got it, ill use splitters if no)

with 8-pin 12v power (if possible dual 8-pin for future boards)

and at least 6 SATA power connectors.....

id rather not spend more than $200 as i can get some nice PC Power and Cooling PSUs for that much

its a rather steep set of guidelines to hit but i noticed my PSU is starting to give out and want something i can use for a long time......

If you were in europe I would sell you the one I won here. It's a great PSU, but I am keeping it for my next built. Since I am still unemployed, that will take a LONG time. My guess is the expenses to send it to you would be a bit on the high? (from Greece)

Tell you what, some day, probably next week since I am still a bit feverish, I will ask at the post office how much it would cost me to send it to you. If it isn't too much, we could find a solution.

haha yea i would think so....but thanks man... well i found some nice refurb PSUs from a variety of places.....

ebay i see several Zalman PSUs all the way to 1000w for less than $200 with manufacturer warranty

i also see a used PC Power and Cooling 750w for $75....

then theres the pcpower.com site that sells refurbed PSUs with 2 years of warranty for less than $100

so many choices..... ill post when i finally make one after consulting DH reviews

750w of the latest revision for $83 shipped is amazing and i really want to save some cash......

**kris23** · Aug 20, 2009, 10:14 PM

it hath been ordered..... leaving me with $200 extra cash for more important things! sure feels nice to save a bit....

Tyrsonswood · Aug 20, 2009, 10:20 PM

Right on!

**kris23** · Aug 20, 2009, 10:25 PM

maybe i can have some high-end RAM earlier than expected! would be awesome to pump up to 4GHz to even 4.5Ghz for those "special occasions"

may need a corsair H50 tho....

nlawson · Aug 27, 2009, 11:48 AM

Greetings,

I have a brand new 1000w power supply. It's a Corsair HX1000W Modular Power Supply.

Model #: CMPSU-1000HX

It normally sells for around $250

Micro Center - HX1000W 1000W Modular ATX EPS/12V Power Supply

I won it from a newegg.com counter-strike tournament and I have no need for it. I'm willing to sell it to you for $200 if interested.

btw I just joined this site because I'm just looking to sell this piece of equipment.

nlawson · Aug 27, 2009, 11:51 AM

Ah nevermind it seems you've already made a purchase. I'll make a WTS thread

**kris23** · Aug 27, 2009, 07:12 PM

aww man...... yea that wouldve been an excellent price for me and i wouldve taken it.......... PSU isnt even here yet... tracking number says tomorrow tho...

welcome to DH man!

i think you will need a minimum post count to sell something.... if you like, just spend sometime chatting in our Off-Topic forum

a quick intro about you would be nice too!

**kris23** · Aug 28, 2009, 11:47 PM
