Looks like it performs well over the stated 420Watts output, and hope the retail version performs as the tested unit. This kind of quality product will provide a strong signal to the way below standard manufacturers. The question now is how much?

When I saw it announced on XS I was quite sceptical on where it came from. To my belief it's being made by a company in China, which also produce the ToPower Power supplies. But now I've read the review and I'm not really sure anymore. Liquid, is there any chance you could take a pic of the box?

The PowerStream 420 arrived in a clandestine plain white box as retail packaging most likely isn't finished

How does it compare next to an Antec TrueControl?
