1 out of 5 eggsLasted until Warranty Expired

4 out of 5 eggspretty good

Pros: 500W, active cooling

Cons: relatively short main cable- not short enough to add an extension but not long enough to hide behind the tray. needs plenty more SATA power connectors, i have 6 HDDs and could only supply 3 of them with natural power.

Other Thoughts: works well in a cramped area (antec 300), sufficient for Sempron 140+ 6 HDDs and a dozen USB-powered projects.

4 out of 5 eggsIt's been great

Pros: This PSU has been in use with my brother's budget build for 3 months now and have not had any issues. Runs everything fine without a stutter.

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: Rebate took just as long, but the Visa rebate card did come. Almost exactly 60-days from the date it was approved.

5 out of 5 eggslong time owned, great psu.

Pros: ive had this PSU for about 2 years now, i bought it when it was being sold with 2x 6x2 pins though i never did get to try SLI with it. either way, its never made a sound, and its never done anything but make everything run like butter.

Cons: are you kidding? buy this thing, though not for SLI anymore.

1 out of 5 eggsDOA

Pros: I wouldn't know them if since it never worked for me.

Cons: The item arrived dead on arrival. I now have to go through a tiresome RMA process.

Other Thoughts: I will be avoiding OCZ power supplies.
Because of the time it took for me to gather my PC components, I was unable to test the power supply until recently. I hope I am still covered by Newegg's warranty.

5 out of 5 eggsRock Solid and Quiet

Pros: Super impressed. I had to double check it was on it was so quiet.

Cons: Has plenty of molex power adapters, but I would like to have seen them be serial power adapters.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat for the price

Pros: Bought this over a year ago for about $30, but was shocked when I saw how much power it pumps out. It keeps a consistent voltage running through to every peripheral, no drops.

Cons: Mine makes a high pitched noise every once in a while, probably a bad capacitor or something. BUT it still works great, so I don't really care, and the noise is nearly inaudible anyway

Other Thoughts: Great for the price I bought it at, but for $59.99 you could get something more powerful

4 out of 5 eggsSolid Value and Super Quiet

Pros: Power levels are clean and constant.
It's amazingly quiet. When I was testing it, I had to turn it over to see if it was working. Wow.
Wrapped cabling is nice.

Cons: The connectors. You get twice as many molex connectors as serial connectors.
It comes with a 4pin aux 12v mb vs the usual 6 or 8pin.
vsb for 5v is not even 1a.

Other Thoughts: I really like this item. more serial power connectors or exchangeable strands would make this a 5egger.

5 out of 5 eggsa well placed investment for the future

Pros: rock solid, stable as a surgeons hand, quiet, very nice

Cons: none, this is topnotch stuff

Other Thoughts: have been using this in my main system for over a year now, overclocked, underclocked, factory clocked. so long as you aren't looking to get into fullblown sli, by this PSU, you won't be sorry.

Super Quiet

Super quiet, nice finish, cables are sleeved. Cable length is just about right for mid size tower.
