Pros: Modular
Cheap

Cons: none!

Other Thoughts: I can always seem to get these on sale. I've probably bought 10+ and never had one problem.

Pros: 1. Great features
2. Reasonable wattage
3. Modular

Other Thoughts: This has very good reviews online and is made of quality components, mine lasted a little over a year but unfortunately just a few days ago my system began totally loosing power. I was completely lost on what it could be, just a total reset no warning or anything like all power was lost. Anyways so that happened unfortunately to me and it began making a rattling noise from the fan too sadly before passing =/ Oh well

Pros: Did what it did.. until it DIED

Cons: died after 3 months.. WTH ...hopefully can refund for full price and get something else.. wow really!!!.. owell it says 3 yr warranty so i think i'll just RMA

Pros: The modular design is a godsend, especially if you're planning on doing any type of cable management inside the case.
The Voltage protection saved my PC a couple of times.
This unit shipped with two PCI cables, even though I only needed one.

Cons: The 24pin and 8 pin MoBo power cords could be a bit longer, but can be easily fixed with extensions. No need to drop an egg over this.

Other Thoughts: I once thought this PSU had gone bad and ordered another one, since the new PSU was doing the same thing once installed I did more investigating. Turns out my MoBo was shorting to the case, and the PSUs Voltage protection was shutting the PC down before any harm could be done.

For anyone with this PSU, if you plug in the PC and it automatically turns on just to shut off 3-5 seconds later, there may be a short happening somewhere in your setup.

Pros: it worked at first...its modular

Cons: it just popped and didnt work

Pros: Plenty of power for good price. Semi modular (why would I want modular Mobo cords anyways?) Lots of cables for various stuff optional of course.

Cons: 6 pin PCI cable connectors are this ugly red color for some reason.

Pros: Looks nice.

Cons: Dead on arrival. I purchased it April 13, 2013. Never opened for installation until yesterday as I waited for all components for a new build to come.

Then today I have everything available. After putting everything together, I tried to power it up. All excitement of a new build is gone. The PSU just didn't work. Nothing.

Other Thoughts: This is bad. I now have to put everything together and file an RMA (just barely being able to do so as it is approaching 30 days). Then I will have to wait for the dreaded RMA to arrive. Newegg uses FedEx "smartpost" which is slow.

My CPU was received and it was an open box. I filed an RMA. Newegg initially asked to pay for return postage. That is absurd. After chatting online, I was given a free RMA shipping label.

Pros: Plenty of power, modular, good price. I've seen a lot of reviews complaining about modular power supplies not being 100% modular. I have never seen a computer that didn't use the main and cpu cables. So why would you need them to be modular

Cons: Non so far.

Other Thoughts: Didn't notice it shipped with power switch on until after I plugged it in. Wouldn't turn on, so I unplugged it for minute and tried again, worked fine. Had to do a hard reset(mb issue) and no power when I tried to turn it on. Checking connections found even though main cable felt tight it wasn't seated all the way. Took a lot of force to get it all the way in. No problems since.

Pros: Modular and quiet. I need to revise my first review. My first power supply died after 25 days and I didn't make the 30 day RMA window. I thought that I was out of luck. However, Rosewill and NewEgg customer support came through. They authorized a RMA replacement for me and even paid the shipping costs! Well done! I am a very happy customer. This is one of the reasons that I continue to use NewEgg. I do have another PS that was bought at the same time that is running like a champ.

Cons: Just removed 1 eqq because the first one died.
