This thread is kind of late, but besides the review tracker, here's what we have in mind:

- BitFenix Merc Alpha (Devin)
- BitFenix USB 3.0 accessories (Paul)
- Cooler Master Silent Pro Hybrid (Jonathan)
- Cooler Master Storm Trooper (Devin)
- QNAP TS-219P II (Preston - Arrived)
- Fractal Design USB 3.0 upgrade kit for Define R3 and XL (Jonathan)

More should be rolling soon :)

:P Wow, the Silent Pro Hybrid looks like what the chc himself would design. What wattage is coming?

No idea. We'll see. But yeah, I'm totally after it. That's not to mention the OEM is Enhance, which is the same as PSUs like the Silverstone Strider series and the Silent Pro Gold.

QNAP TS-219P II? The new one? Does it use the same Interface as the Business QNAPs?

Yeah I could look into that as well. Finally, Platinum PSUs are hitting the market :P

That would make a good shootout between the CM Silent Pro Hybrid and Seasonics Platinum series. But 30% is quite a lot more than Cooler Masters 200W maximum fan off :P

Well Seasonic makes their own PSUs, and Cooler Master's is based off Enhance. That's not to mention Seasonic's is Platinum certified.

I haven't actually powered it on to see for myself, but over the weekend, I may be able to power it up to take a sneak peak and give you a preview :P

They're in!

I also got the CM Silent Pro Hybrid, but I haven't opened the box yet. Also I requested the Seasonic Platinum, but they don't have stock at the moment.

Yeah didn't expect it until the end of the month. But impressively, I managed to fit both of them into the trunk of my Civic:

Nice, that is actually surprising to me, not too much trunk space back there.

I'm pretty sure he means Independent Rear Suspension on my Civic (The multi-link setup which is basically having 2 towers over the rear wheels that takes up a lot of trunk space).
