There is almost no information on the provider in question, but we will certainly hope to hear more about it in the near future.

The new vendors are an upgrade over High Current Gamer products The current ones are thanks to their modularity, with Antec saying that suppliers have a considerable number of optional connections that will suit any use you can think of - so, for example, you can connect up to 10 hard drives With these suppliers.
