For those of you who have been building their own computer systems for a while now, well now that there is a huge influx of power supply units on the market. Choosing the perfect one is a huge task in itself, but E-Power might just have the answer for you. The E-Power Thunder EP-650-TD13-in-1 PSU, is very affordable but still capable of doing the job.

The guys over at Tweaktown have been putting the PSU through its paces, and have come up with a few surprises. Here are their final thoughts on the E-Power Thunder EP-650-TD1 3-in-1 PSU are “For those in the market for a mid-level power supply, there are a lot of choices. With the features and performance of this Thunder 650, it fares well when placed against the competition. While it certainly isn’t the most powerful product on the market, it has ample power for a vast majority of systems currently in use and still offers enough connectors and amperage to allow for future upgrades. This power supply is priced at about $130US and falls squarely in the middle of the price point for similar models with basically the same features. Add to this the external cable that allows you to power and charge devices using either USB or SATA connectivity and the value goes up a notch. It will certainly handle the load and is well worth taking a look at for your own upgrading needs.

The unit is not modular, but with the sturdy construction of the wiring harness and the inclusion of mesh wrap from end to end, this isn’t a big issue. Cable management is still reasonably easy to handle and is made even easier with the included Velcro straps. It also has a lot of appeal to the eye with the chrome finish and the blue LED lighting included with the fan. Overall it is a worthy contender.”
