I have a Mutant Mods 480 watt that’s the same metallic blue and the fans light up blue. Was a fantastic power supply, ran 24/7 for a good 6 years or so.

dude. i still have this PSU in my media PC, only it has the chrome finish. i got it from ncix many years ago and its still kicking ass to this day. you really should do a give away for that thing. they are great build quality even for todays standards.

Linus, you should so dig around the warehouse and put together a retro build, use the old AMD processor you unboxed, this psu, etc

Haha I still have this model in chrome, It’s sitting in my closet somewhere. The modular aspect was nice, but cables are way too stiff .
