Tagan TurboJet 1100w Quad SLI Power Supply

Introduction:

   Tagan is a relatively new name to me in the power supply market. However anything I'd ever heard about them was positive. I'd heard things like "stability" and "quality" associated with them. Tagan contacted me a little ways back and asked me to review their new 1100w TurboJet power supply that you will be able to buy pretty soon at a few major online computer shops. Let's take a closer look at this behemoth and see what it's got to offer.

About Tagan:

   We are a group of professional technical guys living in different countries –Germany, Japan and Silicon Valley (USA). All of us have had a couple of negative experience implementing Power Supply (PS) into systems. It`s really frustrated, time consuming and also risky! By a very valuable opportunity, 2001 in Taipei`s Computex show, all of us met each other at a dinner party, we occasionally sat together and discussed about the power supply problems.

Specifications:

   The best way to provide all the features and specifications on this TurboJet 1100w was to convert the .pdf file from tagan into images you guys can view. Click on an image below to view the larger size.

Packaging:

   The packaging for this power supply was a bit deceiving. At first glance it just looked like a large regular power supply box. However upon closer inspection, there's a suitcase in there! What the heck?! It's not a regular box at all. It's just a thin cardboard sleeve over a small suitcase, briefcase, call it what you want.

FULL!

   The suitcase is packed with the 1100w TurboJet, it's cables, power cord and manual. The suitcase is actually pretty rugged. It's not just for looks. I'm sure you can find plenty of uses for it once you install the power supply in your computer. If not, well then you've just paid for a small suitcase you'll never use.

A Closer Look:

Inside Chassis

   Out of the box (read: suitcase) we find a rather ordinary looking power supply. Plain black with a boatload of cables sticking out of it. While many other companies are going with a single 120mm fan design, Tagan decided to go with the more traditional dual 80mm fan setup. One in the front and one in the back. While it's not pretty, it will provide sufficient cooling by making sure there is a constant flow of fresh air inside the power supply casing (where all the hot stuff is).

   If you look closely at the "outside chassis" pic above, you'll notice that the 80mm fan behind that chrome fan grill is one of the new dimpled style which should be slightly quieter than a traditional bladed fan. However looking at the "inside chassis" picture, we see a traditional fan. Sort of boggles the mind as to why they used two different fans. Did they just want to look contemporary from the rear?
