Cons: Not modular
Pros: CheapBlack colorSleeved cables Comment:
Got this to replace a blown supply. Worked just fine out of the box. Lots of cables and they are a good length for the older Sonata II box I am working with so I am happy. The cables have black sleeving on them which is pretty good at this price. |

Cons: Cords are very long, I have spoiled myself with my other 2 PCs which have modular PSUs. The extra bundle of un-used wires bothers me but considering modular PSUs are 3-4 times as expensive as this I simply cannot complain. This PSU is also louder than my silent pro 700w PSU, but again for the price I cannot complain.
Pros: Price. The cords all have nice braided black covers, looks high budget. I bought 2 for $35 each + tax and shipping. Veryyy happy with the purchase. I like the bright yellow fan :) Comment:
This is an average PSU at full retail price, but at $35... you can't beat that! |

Cons: non so far
Pros: Great price, I was looking for 500 watt ps, nice long cables to reach components in case , sleaved Comment:
Has enough power for everything in the build, as part of a rather budget machine with some room for video card down the road. Price was right and it had all the connecters I neededHappy with product, would buy again. seems very quiet! |

Cons: None that I can tell.
Pros: Inexpensive, seems very well built, good looking. Comment:
I was worried that the generic "480 watt" power supply that came with a cheap case I bought wasn't up to the task of properly powering a system with a 125W Phenom II X4, GTS 250, 2 optical drives, 2 hard drives, and an extra case fan.This power supply has plenty of connectors, which are wrapped, and are nice and long.The fan is nice and quiet, which is an added bonus.This unit is heavy, and seems well built. I would purchase again. |

Great power supply for the price. Bought as a replacement for a dead PSU. Got it at a sale price comparable to the cheapest power supplies out there.Very quiet, you can hardly hear it over the noise of all the fans. |

Pros: Good looksHigh qualitySolidLong cablesCable sleevesQuiet Comment:
I bought this power supply for use in a medium-level build (3GHz Dual Core, 4GB RAM, 2 HD, DVD, NVidia Quadro). The reviews on the 1000W and 600W from this series were good. This model looks well made also. The "bumblebee" coloring looks very sharp. Plus I got it on sale when it was 40% off and for that price it was tough to beat.The only things to keep in mind with this unit are:- It comes with big thumb screws instead of regular panhead screws.- The PCIe video card cable is a single cable with two 6+2 connectors, not two separate cables from the two rails, which will be bad for anyone using a high-end video card that requires more than a single rail current.- The SATA power cables have 3 connectors per cable.- It smelled really strong like fresh paint, I guess that meant that the unit was fresh from the factory. ;)In the realm of inexpensive power supplys, this is so far the best that I have seen. It isn't the typical cheap thin silver metal with loose wiring style. |
Really nice color scheme and the way the case I own is used the yellow fan gets shown plenty. Lots of power under load and more than enough connections, especially for sata. Would definitely purchase again.
