Corsair is keeping quiet but it won't be long before you see Corsair-branded Power Supply Units. We hear it wants to jump in to the high-end market rather than entry-level, wich comes as no suprise.
With the crazy power requirements of dual or even quad graphic card systems, powered with a lot of memory and a very power-demanding CPU you need as much juice as your local substation can kick out.
The best high-end systems require at least a 600W PSU to run without any troubles.
Not so long ago we were using 140W PSUs for powering the whole system, together with the display. Those times are fading away, fast.
