OCZ StealthXstream II OCZ600SXS2 600W ATX12V v2.2/ EPS12V 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Does what it's supposed to and it looks nice. It's been over 2 years since I purchased this along with the rest of my computer parts to build my first PC and despite the negative reviews I've not had a single thing go wrong...(knocks on wood)

Cons: None

Pros: Reliable, reasonably priced. Just what I was looking for.

Cons: None that I have seen.

Other Thoughts: Installation was fairly easy. Keep in mind there is a LOT of wiring you need to tuck away. Plastic wire ties come in real handy to make it all neater. The P.S. looks nice in the case.

Pros: None

Cons: Failed Second time. Cost me $14 buck to ship and they shipped me a refurbished one. Which broke after 4months. It was working intermittently until it took last breath 2 days ago.
I had to a lot of downtime due to this.

Other Thoughts: Never Buy OCZ PSU. They ship you refurbished products if the orginal is RMA 'ed.

Pros: lasted 6 months.

Cons: it kill my ssd drive when it die. would not recommend this to anyone. the power recepticle at the back came loose for no reason.

Pros: Not much use when it breaks.

Cons: When I got this. The fan started making noise after a few weeks. Instead of RMA'ing. I just replaced the fan.

Unfortunately, a few months later. This power supply popped. I smelled electronics burning. And the PSU now makes a loud siren like noise. Since I replaced the fan I cannot RMA this. Not recommended.

Pros: reasonable price for a powerful PSU

Cons: There were bad connectors the first time I used it. Had to ask for a replacement.

Pros: I got this on the ShellShocker deal. I "thought" 600w would be enough for my build, which is is. However I do not think after actually calculating it that I will be able to run SLI with all my other hardware. But it does what it asks, and is probably the quietest thing in my case.

Cons: None for the price (ShellShocker). For the "regular" price, why not spend a few extra bucks?

Other Thoughts: I had to buy an "adapter" to get a few more SATA power plugs. Turns out this is good, because my fans use a lot of molex plugs. Also, I had to use an extension for the CPU power cable, but this is in my full size case, and I'd estimate most medium size or smaller cases would be fine.

Pros: 680 watts
2 PCI-E connectors
Great replacement for my previous one

Cons: None other than the rebate is a joke

Other Thoughts: I mailed the rebate over a week and a half ago and according to the rebate tracker it hasent even arrived......

The mail to address is in the same freaking state! from fresno to san deigo does not talk 9 days to recieve even by snail mail

I've seen other reviews in here about people complaining about the rebate so i wasen't keeping my hopes up but my overall rating isn't based on the product but the quality of care OCZ gives to their customers and their rebates......

Pros: Cables plenty long. Got excellent tech review at another site. Quiet.

Cons: Only 3 SATA plugs and they are all on the same run. If you have SATA DVD/BD drives you will need some molex/SATA adapters.

Other Thoughts: Always buy a quality power supply. Like this one.

Pros: Quiet, sleek looking power supply with ample power and a good price (got it for $60 plus a $30 mail-in-rebate).

Cons: Tons of power connectors on this thing, however there are only 3 SATA power connectors and they're all on the same "rope", if you will. I needed to mount my DVD drive in the bottom CD bay in order for it to connect to my hard drives. This can easily be remedied with a Molex -> SATA power adapter or a SATA extension cable, but it's a bit ridiculous that there are so few SATA plugs, and that they're all consolidated. It makes for a clean look, but the tradeoff is not a lot of room to work with in your PC case.
