It would be a real bargain if prices were competitive with newegg.
Prices on online stores are going for pretty cheap.
Not so straight-forward as taking the newegg price and multiply by 3.3, then add freight. Like that, a new BMW would only cost RM80,000! Instead, here in Malaysia, the BMW is at RM300k plus! There is this thing called TAX. All PSUs are subjected to hefty taxes.Prices on online stores are going for pretty cheap.

It applies to all DDR2 ram. Manufacturers are taking heavy losses due to massive stockpiling last year in anticipation of Vista, so now they've shut down many of the DDR2 production lines to clear stock and push prices up to profitable levels before resuming production. They're also slowly moving over to DDR3, but don't expect DDR3 to become affordable (but still above DDR2 price) in anything less than 1-2+years. Flash & GDDR ram are also affected, even worse in fact. Samsung is selling off their GDDR3 stock below cost, 1/8 of the usual already low price of other manufacturers.
There's no way it'll remain silent at 610W, only at low-medium load it'll be silent. At 83% efficiency its still got 100W+ of wasted heat to dump out of the PSU. And thats assuming it doesn't have to deal with the heat of the PC itself.
This week itself, ram prices have shot up by more than 20% in Taiwan. Soon, it will be reflected here in Malaysia.There's no way it'll remain silent at 610W, only at low-medium load it'll be silent.
