Newegg is offering 20% off Rosewill power supplies with coupon code EMCYTZT1433 [Exp 4/10]. The pictured Rosewill HIVE-550 550W Single +12V Rail PSU is on sale for $70 - 20% off code = $56 with free shipping.
Looks like Ben listing the best all around deal from all the Rosewill’s out there.
Thought about the Green Series RG530-S12 530W Continuous @40°C, 80 PLUS Certified, Single 12V Rail, Active PFC for $40, but when compared to the Modular Design HIVE Series with 550W the $16 extra adds value like 80 PLUS Bronze, 135mm Fan, 2x 6+2pin PCIe (not that that you'd use this for a two 8pin card, whatever that would be) As to the 40 Eggview most 4*-5* stars, but there are few DOA's mixed in. You'd need another $24 to step up to something like a dual rail SeaSonic M12II 520 Bronze 520W, but you do get a 5Y warranty though not much better for Eggviews ever a few DOA's.
The CAPSTONE is better, and I recommend stepping up to it. It's on par with Seasonic's better stuff. See the review @ Jonnyguru. Made by Super Flower which is a reputable OEM.
While they are good, a 43% increase is a lot and truly bumps you into a whole different level of superiority, if that’s what someone is looking for it definitely a good alternative to other “super quality” PSU’s of such eminence.

Normally you won't see independent reviews on Rosewill PSU, but this HIVE has these.
