APEX AL-A400ATX 400W ATX12V Power Supply

Pros: Does what it says.

Cons: None to date.

Other Thoughts: So far, so good. Good upgrade if you've bought a bit tougher graphics card, or built a new lower level build.

Pros: It is still alive.

Cons: It is dying. Makes a loud noise for last couple years and I can't take it anymore so I replaced.

Pros: None at the moment

Cons: The PSU is listed as having a 20+4 pin connector. The PSU I got had a 24 pin connector. It will not work with my ASUS A7N8X-E motherboard. I have to get an adapter.

Pros: good quality power supply

Cons: not energy star complient

Other Thoughts: kila watt hours are considered due to operating expensive

Pros: Hooked it up, plugged it in, and away it ran. No problems whatever. Fan is very silent.

Cons: The corner of the AC receptacle interfered with the cutout in the cabinet, making it necessary to do a fair bit of work with a metal file. It was also necessary to drill out the mounting holes in the case to a next-larger size to get all the screws in. And: only enough SATA connectors for a very basic system--which, fortunately, was all I was building.

Other Thoughts: Fits nicely in a microATX case.

Pros: Had it for moer than 7 years powered on for at least 50% of that time and still runs solidly. Opened it up and wired the two fans in series to make them run at half-speed and dead silent...

Cons: na

Other Thoughts: It seems like a lot of people tend to go overkill with thier power supplies. Even with highend cpus most systems will never draw more than 300 watts...

Pros: -read below

Cons: -DOA on arrival.
I tried putting this into my case, plugged everything in and closed the case. I tried pressing the START button but all i hear is a BEEP then stops. Turned the PSU Off then ON then tried again. Same results.... and you need to buy the warranty which I plan not to. I will not buy another PSU from Apex again.

Pros: efficient, and reliable. no problems

Cons: the power switch (for case) connector that u plug into motherboard is to small. some of the power cables barely reach. not made for a full tower size

Pros: Small and compact. Good deal for a small file server.

Cons: Only one SATA connector, small fan.

Other Thoughts: None

Pros: The power supply does an excellent job of powering components and sucking heat away from the CPU.

Cons: After two months of use, the low-noise fan became a high-noise fan and hums very loudly.

Other Thoughts: Since I am out of the RMA time frame, I will be replacing this power supply with a different one. I will probably keep this one as a backup in case of emergencies. Please note that the loudness of the fan is the only thing that I am unhappy with. Before this, everything was working fine and I was extremely pleased with the power supply.
