This is one of those titles where an edit would have been good. If the words "power supply" aren't visible people may miss out.

For anyone that hasn't heard of COUGAR before, they're a solid brand. They generally only make >$100 power supplies. This is a darn good good.

@firebirdude: I'm going to strongly disagree with you on this unit.

One of the top power supply reviewers, Hardware Secrets, gave this unit a poor review. "Because of these problems, we can’t recommend this product."

It's a very bad idea to take a gamble on a power supply. Poorly manufactured power supplies can lead to disastrous results for the rest of your computer's components.

does this cougar box get hot when lots of devices are plugged into it?

this device actually thrives on younger computer builders

@rmonacelli: Agreed you shouldn't cheap out on your power supply, but their review wasn't horrible. They commented that the internal components were actually ahead of many other power supplies they've reviewed. They didn't cheap out. In addition, the power supply performed beautifully through most of their tests. Only at full load did they even notice anything negative. Efficiency dipped slightly below 80% and voltage tolerance was slightly out of spec on one rail. Agreed, this isn't desirable and surprises me a little, but the odds of someone pushing this power supply into that range during daily use are slim to none. And it's really not a huge deal if it did.

But in the end, you're getting a decent power supply for 30 bucks. Unbeatable.

And apparently woot is filled with perverted 18 year old kids with half-hearted attempts at jokes.

Read the reviews on NewEgg, first post PSU was DOA and second it only lasted a few months.

I'd pass on this even if I needed a new one. It's not modular, which means that ALL of the cables are plugged in ALL the time. More wires means less air flow, more dust accumulation, higher temps.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
