The word 'lite' always had a negative connotation as a toned-down item or a lower end product. Some of us may even associate the 'cheap' with the word 'lite'. Even so, there has always been a need for value products in every market; as many people would prefer not to spend so maximum money on everything they buy. Especially in such tough economic times, there would be an increase of people who choose to spend wisely and efficiently to make the best out of their money. For Thermaltake, "Lite" also has another meaning. The company's Litepower series power supplies are also marketed as energy efficient and "green". Interestingly, APH haven't reported on a power supply for about a year already, and we are getting back into it now! Today, we will be taking a look at the Thermaltake Litepower 450W -- a budget line of power supplies by the well known manufacturer of cooling products, Thermaltake. We'll also crack open this power supply to see what is the symbolic significance of 'lite' means to Thermaltake when they designed and manufactured our Thermaltake Litepower 450W power supply. |
