NZXT introduced their new HALE82 power supply line today. This series is following the previous lineup of HALE90 PSU's. The key difference between the two being their efficiency ratings. The new lineup comes in with a 80+ Bronze Certification. With prices going tome $109.99 to $139.99 (650W to 850W), I'm sure we can expect to see a few of these in budget builds this coming tax season.
