When we reviewed the 900w version of the High Current Gamer we praised Antec for its good build quality, design and performance. The 620w version doesn't quite have the looks of the higher spec model however it is still a well-built unit both inside a...

When we reviewed the 900w variant of the High Current Gamer series we concluded that it was a unit of high build quality, good design and great performance so naturally we expected the same (more or less) from the 620W variant. Although the HCG...
