Brand new power supply came in. 90% efficiency! :)

Lightning at night wasn’t so great so pictures didn’t turn out so well.. But nonetheless, front of the box and the cables included.

Corsair packaging, great as always. Nifty bag, which will probably never be used again.

Comes with a power cable, zip-ties, screws, and a shiny case badge. In the bag are the modular cables. Finally some nice looking flat, ribbon style cables. Makes it easier to get it behind the case.

Project “Halcyon”

Third build in three years. I was able to pick up an Intel i7 860 for cheap.. and that led to everything else. I was thinking of a name after I finished my Fall exams for college before break and Halcyon came up — which means “calm, peaceful, tranquil.”

Not sure if I’ll make this a completly new build with new case and PSU, but this will suffice to give me something to play with for the time being.
