Review: Antec TruePower Trio 650 Power Supply
Tuesday, September 19th, 2006
If your system is bristling with hard drives and other devices, then you’ll need enough power to support them. Antec’s latest power supply may be useful.
Antec’s TruePower Trio 650 power supply unit (PSU) is, at 3.4 x 5.5 x 5.9 inches, the same size physically as any other power supply you’re likely to purchase. It’s the 650 watts of output power that makes it tower figuratively over its competition. Let me start with a confession: I’m old enough to have owned computers with 43-watt power supplies and then to have marveled as the next generation appeared sporting an even more monstrous 65-watt version. At the time, it would have been difficult to image what new components could possibly have been installed that would require such a drastic increase in power.
