Antec 1,000W TruePower Quattro review
Verdict
Review Date: 12 Nov 2007
Reviewed By: Matthew Sparkes
Price when reviewed: (£67 inc VAT)
Overall Rating
Once you have the Wattson, watch it glow a furious shade of red by endowing your PC with the 1,000W TruePower Quattro. Building on the success of the Quattro Pro 850, which won an award from our sister magazine Custom PC (www.custompc.co.uk/reviews/125913), 1,000W is easily enough to run a pair of top-end Nvidia 8800 GTXs, a RAID5 array, plus a high-end CPU. All the power connectors are sleeved for tidiness, and you get a decent choice: four PCI-E, eight SATA plugs, nine Molex and two floppy. What's more, the power supply is 80 PLUS certified, meaning it runs much more efficiently than the average PSU.
