What's up with these prices? Here, a 750 W Seasonic Titanium PSU is selling for $265 which works out to $196 USD.

PSU prices have gone up a lot since last year, for no apparent reason.

I just bought mine like a year+ ago and now they decide to sleeve cables out of the box... :mad:

Yeah I was noticing this gold 1000 unit is only 20 usd cheaper than my prime titanium unit from 2021.

I'd argue one apparent reason: ATX 3.0 specs.
Is it reason enough? For the marketing and sales teams it may very well be.

Nah, I got a 750W Seasonic Focus GX last year, it's over twice what I paid for it now, so it has nothing to do with that.

They're big and heavy so maybe shipping costs?

Shipping costs have decreased significantly since 2022.

With a dose of exaggeration, now that Seasonic launches these FOCUS GX PSU's, ATX 3.0 standard becomes mainstream...

Probably to power all the GPUs being used for AI applications by Big Tech….

No reason: Usual suspects

Covid, Ukraine, supply chain, shipping, climate, inflation

Any and all can be used as an excuse to jack up prices even though all excuses are now largely BS.

They're not sleeved, it's molded to have that look.

I have their 12VHPWR cable, and it's not a braided sleeve.
