Introduction:

Kingwin ABT-1000MA1S (1000 Watt) Power Supply

    As costs rise, many a PC enthusiasts have had to cut back on a few things and occasionally cut a couple corners when building their new systems. This means putting more money in to the graphics card and a little less in to the type of computer case. Or maybe, you decided to go with a slower speed DDR2 or DDR3 kit rather than the top modules so you could afford the bigger power supply to feed that fancy graphics card. Either way, we've all made a compromise here and there to build our own idea of a worthy power machine.

Power supplies (PSU) have definitely evolved the last few years in to better and better components. Almost every vendor has at least one line or series that can actually be considered a good PSU. Yet, there are only a handful of vendors who can say their PSU is exceptional. Let's be realistic here. Not everyone can afford good PSUs and far less can afford exceptional PSUs. However, you can't afford to put a questionable PSU in your new power house game system unless you like leaving performance and stability to chance.

I've purchased "quasi" PSUs before out of necessity based on what I could afford and paid for it down the line. Rather than risk that again, there are other viable options if you don't want to shell out $300 for 1000 watt PSU to fit in your SLI frame crunching machine, have a look at the Kingwin ABT-1000MA1S 1000W Power Supply. It's not your every day bland PSU and it's got something to add to your window style case.
