     The need for larger power supplies is finally here.  It seems like only a few days ago it would have been major overkill to have an 850 watt power supply in your personal computer.  With the recent release of the 8800 series from Nvidia and the Quad core CPUs starting to come out, it appears that a good 400 to 500 watt power supply may not be enough, or at least the bare minimum.  Etasis has just sent us over their top power supply the ET850.  Let's take a look at it and see how it does.

Specifications

  • Input Range: 100 to 240 VAC, +/-10%

  • Power Factor: >0.96min at full load

  • Power Good: 100 to 500 ms, TTL compatible signal

  • PSON (Remote ON/OFF): TTL compatible signal

  • Operating Temperature: 0 degree C - 50 degree C (32 degree F - 122 degree F)
