Cons: -for regular price, I would have expected this to be modular
Pros: -lots of connectors-cables are relatively easy to manage-can handle more powerful gpus that need multiple connectors Comment:
I bought this for 70 dollars during the holiday sales and I am not disppointed at all. Seasonic makes some of the best psus on the market and this one is no exception. Runs my i5/4870 combo very nicely |

Pros: Amazing price on Boxing day Comment:
High Quality Seasonic brand PSU for dirt cheap on boxing day. This provides plenty of power for my tricore VM server host machine, so it is in no way stressed. The 80plus efficiency rating makes sure it isn't wasting too much power even at fairly small comparative loads.I would definitely get more of these if they came up at the boxing day price again! |

Cons: Pricey.
Pros: Plenty of connection. Comment:
Purchase this for the purpose of having a spare power supply. There are plenty of connector and power to run a high end system to some degree. No problem so far. |

Cons: Not modular.Expensive when not on sale.
Pros: 80 plus certified.Quiet fan.Lots of connectors. Comment:
I got this during boxing day sale for $100 off regular price. At that price it's a great deal. It has plenty of power to run my new core i7 video editing and encoding rig. I'm no gamer so I don't need it to power multiple video cards, but I'll have enough power for future expansion (like lots of hard drives). It is 80 plus certified and the fan is very quiet. The only negative is that it is not modular so managing all the leftover cables can be a bit of a challenge. |

This is my second PSU from Seasonic and they make awesome products. It's quiet, has tons of connectors and runs cool. I'm only sad I didn't buy two during the boxing day sale ... ! |

Cons: cable management, but i knew it wasn't a modular so not a big deal, just takes time to organize and tuck away lots of left over cables.
Pros: long sheathed cables, 80 plus, compact, super quiet, black Comment:
running dual radeon hd 4770 video cards in crossfire , 2 dvd drives, 2 hard drives, 3 120 mm led fans, 2 140mm led fans, 4gb ddr2 memory, sunbeam core contact freezer cpu fan, and still super quiet. |

Cons: Not as quiet as i hoped, it is the loudest thing in my system.
Pros: Pretty quiet, has good specs. 5 year warranty. Comment:
The power supply seems stable so far alhtough im not running an extremely power hungry system. The only beef i have is that the fan is not as quiet as i hoped. I have a dead silent rig and i can hear the psu fan, its not loud but i can still hear it distinctively. I might have a dud perhaps because when i received the item from ncix, the box was not shrink wrapped or had any type of seal on the box. It looked like it was opened. This is the first time i've purchased a seasonic product and maybe its suppose to be that way but all the psu i've ever purchased, antec/corsair were all shrink wrapped or had a some type of seal on the box. |

Cons: Not really a weakness but the volume of cables/connectors can get in the way if using a small/medium sized case and half the connectors left unused.
Pros: 80% efficiency means less wasted electricity, efficient packaging, silent even quieter than the system case/cpu fans. Top quality Seasonic manufacturer, sleeved cables for those who prefer. Comment:
Well bought this for a friend's HP desktop that was running stock AMD Athlon64x2 5200+, 2x1GB DDR2-667, 250GB 7200RPM SATA, Sony CD/DVD writer, on board GeForce 6150 SE or LE and disgustinly stock Bestec 250W PSU that didn't even have any native SATA connectors. We added a 1TB 7200RPM Hitachi drive and 2x1GB DDR2-800 Crucial Ballistix, and a 2nd old PATA CD-RW. His optical drives started disappearing from Vista after a few months so I suggested getting a better PSU. I got him this Seasonic and now everything is working perfect in fact everything is actually running faster than originally with that crappy Bestec PSU. He's overjoyed.

Cons: -Nothing that I can think of
Pros: -Quiet-Output-Price Comment:
This is a fantastic power supply, replacing a dead 400w sparkle (has served its duties well for a number of years). This thing is very capable of driving the most demanding systems, while maintaining very low noise levels. When on sale for 90 or below, it's an absolute steal. |

Cons: -none so far
Pros: -near silent-quality-all required connectors Comment:
This has to be the best quality power supply I have ever owned. Modular would have been nice but often you lose out on power efficiency. I can barely hear the cooling fan for the power supply and my computer is nearly dead silent. I tweaked my hard drive for silence verses performance and my system fans are slowed by an inline resistor to lower the 12 volts to around 7 volts for near silent operation which an Asus 4850 video card running overclocked and at lower an speeds. My CPU is an AMD Phenom X3 720 2.8Ghzv3.0Ghz all is running wonderfully. |
