Any idea regarding the cost/availability of EA500 in India?

[Crazy_Eddy]

^ Should be quite easily available. It costs around 5k i believe.

if the antec basiq 500 costs 4000 ,this should cost around 5500.note that the antec new trio is more efficient than EA series. antec trio costs 7000

IT Depot - the official distri’s for Antec , said they had stopped selling the Basiq Power. The 5k price for the EA500 is off their site.

No idea about the Antec Trio’s efficiency, but the Trio and the EarthPower models are what they seem to have in ready stock as of now.
