Garbage
Pros: Cool green wire covers
Cons: This piece of garbage is guaranteed to die on you no matter what setup you are running. I purchased it a year ago and had infrequent power failures powering a very low end system. And about a month after the warranty expired, it completely died.

Junk!!
Pros: 650w and cost.
Cons: Whats up with these power supply manufacturers? This was my second replacement for this build and the first one I thought was a lack of power, it had 550w and I thought it died from being overloaded as it was only 90w more power than my average usage, but then I get this one and it was 140w more than what my system needed and it still died on me after just over a year. Im going with the OCZ ModXstream this time and I will leave a post on it too.
Other Thoughts: I wont go the cheaper route on power supplies any more. Im going on my third one in this same tower. Do your self favor and spend the extra cash and buy one that is that is of better construction and quality. Read the reviews and pay good attention who are giving it a rating for the life of the item not the doa's. It is unfortunate but QC cant catch them all and some companies have bad QC staff. If too many people are saying its not lasting more than a year then it's probably wise to get something else.

Epic failure
Pros: it wasn't the most horrendous shade of green I've ever seen and it has a decent variety of connectors. Might also be able to salvage the cooling fan on this PSU if the RMA fails to go through.
Cons: After 12 months the power on the +5 VDC and +12 VDC rails became unreliable. System became unstable and 1 week after the warranty expired the power supply died completely. Attempting to contact Logisys for an RMA in hopes of getting a replacement. but haven't received a response as of yet. This power supply has caused more issues than it's solved, I would refuse to buy this power supply or any other Logisys product because their RMA process takes far too long and getting an actual human to assist on the company end is an exercise in futility. This PSU claims to be CrossFire ready. Can't see it living up to that claim when it tanks powering a machine with only a single video card. Really wish I could give this thing a rating of 0.
Other Thoughts: If the RMA process was better and at least gave the option for human interaction when all else failed I might have actually given this a slightly better rating. I honestly doubt this is a true 650W power supply as it is far lighter than the old 400W in my sisters' Athalon machine. The best part of the PSU is actually the cooling fan on the bottom as it is quiet and provides a very nice airflow. As stated above I will try real hard to salvage the fan if the RMA falls through.

Don't Believe It
Pros: None
Cons: All I have asked of this PSU is to power a core i7 920 with a bfg gtx 260, asus p6t, WD500gb x2.... It reboots the system every time a direct-x game is started. For a while a UPS helped, yet that doesn't even keep it running anymore.
Other Thoughts: Get an Nvidia SLI certified product...

You get what you pay for
Pros: Will run most modest gaming computers fine. Nice green wire covers.
Cons: Would not run my 4890 video card, but my old OCZ 600 watt would??? Must have bad rail or something. Fan on this thing is not that good.
Other Thoughts: Still using it in my old gaming computer overclocked with a 8800 gt EVGA video card, and lots of fans with no problems.

A Rare find
Pros: has special P6 plug needed for old ASUS A7M266 motherboard. Has lots of +5 VDC current and +3.3VDC current needed for this older board. Also has adequate +12 VDC current rating. Price reasonable.
Cons: Does not have automatic power factor correction. This is important in my room because I run a lot of computers and then a window AC so current can trip a circuit breaker in the summer. Auto power factor correction will reduce the chance this will happen because the current is less.
Other Thoughts: Is now powering my MSI K7D Master motherboard which does not need the P6 connector but does need lots of +5 and +3.3 current. Also carrying my Nvidia Geforce 6800 ultra which needs lots of +12 current. So far so good.

Don't cut corners with your PSU
Pros: Didn't fry any of my other components when it when down in flames (figuratively).
Cons: I got my scrumptious new XFX Radeon HD 4890 graphics card a couple weeks ago and installed it while trembling with giddy excitement. I decided to reinstall Windows so I'd have a completely clean playing field for my new toy. Ho hum, setup is copying files. Come ON, hurry UP. Yay! It's done! OK. Clean new desktop. Need drivers! ATI.com, search search. There! Downloading.
*bzzt*
What.
The computer shut off. Great. No warning or anything.
Oh. It won't turn back on.
Let me tell you: the twenty minutes I had to wait to install Windows was NOTHING compared to the week I had to wait for a new PSU to ship from California. I bought Corsair this time, thank you.
Other Thoughts: Don't skimp on your PSU. You'll hear this over and over again, all the time, everywhere. It's common knowledge. I chose to ignore it and I paid the price. Don't make the same mistake. Buy QUALITY. You get what you pay for.

Nice PS, while it worked
Pros: Plenty of power, plenty of connectors, nice open cooling design.
Cons: This unit began failing about 5 weeks into ownership. Failure was 100% repeatable with a "tap" on the PS while in operation. This would cause a hiccup and a reboot. Sent back to newegg for replacement.

Why All The bad Reviews?
Pros: I've had this PSU for over a year now. It has powered my 680i mobo with an E6600 2.4Ghz, 4GB DDR2 800 RAM, 4 HDDR, 2x 8800GT, lots of 120mm fans and a CD/DVD ROM drive. I still had power to overclock CPU, RAM, and VGA. Ive only had system shut down once. I think that was because of the load on the circut breaker (very old house), which did trip. I reset and never happened again. When I bought this PSU I only paid about $45 after rebate w/ Free Shipping, which for a 650W PSU was a deal. I hate folks are having problems with theirs, but newegg has a wonderful customer service program that has always came thru for me, never once have I been disappointed with them and or the service they provide for me.
Cons: for the price/none
Other Thoughts: I would only use this PSU for XP32/64, Vista32/64 systems running Core 2 Quad's, Core 2 Duo's, Pentiums so on... I dont thik this would be a good PSU for any VGA's above 8800 GT specs, may be OK for the 8800GTS (IDK), any thing higher than a 8800GT may require more from a PSU earlier review stated 9800 GTX in SLI wouldn't work. Sorry Bro may have to fork out a little extra for your little Extra 9800GTX. I recomend before upgrading Graphics cards, mobo's & CPU's, memory, etc... go to some forums get a little input and read some reviews. Do a little home work before asumming that something will work or you'll be spending more $$$ than you wanted. and... Yeah, you may have somthing to brag about... for about a month. Then somone will have somthing beter. If it aint broke don't try to fix it. Thats My moto.

Run, Do not Walk
Pros: Pretty green?
Cons: Worked for about 3 months. Then PC would restart intermittently, then power supply died. Power supply case seal has been broken. They fixed it?????????? Power supply case seal has been broken. Sent back to Newegg twice. So the money I thought I was saving has been spent in shipping.
Other Thoughts: This is the first time I have not been satisfied with Newegg. I guess I should have taken the word of the bad ratings of this product. It is junk. I gave it a 1 rating because the system would not allow a ZERO.

So far, so good
Pros: Bought this along with the PowerColor Radeon HD 3850 AGP graphics card. My other power demands are slight (it's in an old Dell Pentium 4 with stock everything) and it's been working like a champ so far. I would encourage anyone with an older/crummier setup like mine to take a chance with one of these cheap PSUs, but if you're building a hardcore gaming machine, buy Corsair.
Cons: Hard to close the stupid Dell hinged case around the mass of wires (this is mainly Dell's fault, though).
Other Thoughts: Green is sexy.

6-pin Aux!!
Pros: Well for you guys with older systems that utilize the "6-pin Aux" connector for cpu power, then this is seemingly the power supply that rates the highest in watts that I have found. This doesn't mean there aren't others, but I have not seen them. My old P4 2.2ghz 478/ABIT TH7II-RAID/ATI HIS IceQ 9600xt AGP 512mb Video Card has been starving for power for so long, until now. Hopefully this will last a while.
Cons: None so far, time will tell...

Over one year / STRONG
Pros: I was in need of a High Wattage PSU for little money, found this one, thought I'd give it a try, and the results are outstanding! I have never been happier with a purchase of buying something and not knowing much (reviews) about it. Though it my not be certified, this is rated as an ROHS copliant PSU so I'm assuming its 80%+ efficient Delivering 650W, which will push your 9800GTX(s), 4 HardDrives, 5x 120mm fans and USB devices connected all at the same time. That maybe because this PSU also has a max out-put of 750W. I've pushed my system to the limits, overclocking the snot out of it, and this PSU is still true. I would and in fact and will buy another because I'm in need of another for another build.
Cons: The color, but after awhile it grows on you =) for cases with no window, come on, does it matter?
Other Thoughts: this PSU has sold out before and newegg restocked, thank you I will be buying another one of these.

Hit or miss
Pros: Power supply runs quiet and has all the connectors and power I needed. Cheap price compared to others.
Cons: First one came DOA. I thought it was my new motherboard but it was the power supply. The QC date was back in 2007 so it was almost 2 years old. Second one works great.

Cheap Power Supply
Pros: of first of all it takes alot to make me give a probuct a 1 star rateing but congrats Logisys you've done it
the mesh covering the wires is nice
Cons: Everything! this is a SLI power supply that won't run a 9800GTX+ at factory settings
the only thing in my testing system is a hard drive optical drive and the 9800 and this PSU causes the computer to crash when the GPU kicks the fan up to high
this PSU is a joke
Other Thoughts: i will not buy any more Logisys power supplys

Bedeviling....
Pros: Good specs/value ratio. Good (yet, also cursed by many here) cable length, cable number, and good number of connectors--may be better for full-tower "Swiss-Army-Knife" system. (Nowadays, such purchasers probably would look elsewhere for better power, however.)
Cons: Wouldn't boot my legacy Asus K8V-X-SE/Sapphire 3850 AGP/Win XP system (fans ran for a fraction of a second)--other users had similar experiences.
The 8-pin connector is for 12V power, not PCI-E as previously indicated in specs (the missing 8-pin PCI-E connector was a key reason for purchase). Tried both molex and 6-pin to 8-pin PCI-E adaptors to no avail (the 3850 AGP uses an 8-pin PCI-E connector).
The main 20-24-pin mainboard connector seems to be missing a wire on the 20-pin section (this is a white wire on my Co##m@ster 600W 2X12V 18A PS): Apparently, Logisys thinks that wire is no longer necessary.
The 6-pin to 8-pin adaptor worked with the old power supply, also (an improvement, I think--Sapphire supplies a molex-based adaptor). I was somewhat concerned that the system was ruined by the Logisys--eventually, it booted into XP with the C##m@ster re-installed. The Logisys power supply is very light compared to most other colleague devices, and it 's noisier than the C##
Other Thoughts: Runs my Epox skt. 754/PCI-E board sys., currently with a low-end ASUS PCI-E video card. Power supply tester results have been OK--slightly high, rather than too low. I suppose I'll keep the Logisys for now for that epox hybrid system or for a low-end AM2+ or Intel dual-core sys, although I'm concerned about mainboard incompatibilities: The Logisys is "picky" about certain boards!

Cheap Power Supply
Pros: Great price when bought about a year ago. Cool green color and lots of connectors. Has had a lot of use.
Cons: Could not get this unit to work with my GIGABYTE GA-M57SLI-S4 AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard. Tried their support with no answer to emails.
Other Thoughts: Worked great when put into an older computer with an Asus mother board.

Great bang for your buck
Pros: This PSU is rated at 80% efficiency, it has LOTS of extra supply port types and it meets hefty power requirements as I've seen. It's a funky green color which is kind of cool. I don't know what everyone's distaste for the green is but it doesn't really matter since all you can really see if the back of the PSU when it's all hooked up, said and done.
Cons: Well, the cables are so long that I had to ties them up just right in my case so they wouldn't be touching a heat-sink or my RAM. This isn't too big of a deal but it would help if the cables weren't almost 2 feet long. For an ATX case it can be quite a squeeze and if one didn't know what they were doing, they could get their cabling melted by the heat of the heat-sinks and hardware in the system.
Other Thoughts: For $59.99 this thing is a bargain especially for a 650W box. Initially, I used the PSU that came with my case (an Okia 550W) and it crapped out within 3 days. I was lucky that I foresaw the lack of quality in the Okia one and bought this PSU at the same time to swap it out since I'm running a Quad Core cpu with dual SLI, 2 HDDs and 2 DVD burners.

Good while it lasted
Pros: It worked great for a good 7 months
Cons: It randomly shut off and went between working and not working until it finally died.
Other Thoughts: Not really worth it. Go for a more reliable brand.

Bad Ground
Pros: Good power low cost
Cons: power will cycle. This power supply would run for weeks to a few seconds and cycle the power causing the computer to reboot. I see several reviews noting this problem.
Other Thoughts: I found a loose ground wire. Two mounting screws were loose by 1/4 turn. One holding the ground from the power cable to the board. I have been running it for 3 days now without a problem. I have been watching the voltages. The 12V will drop to 11.940 under heavy load but no reboots yet. I would like hear if this fixes the problem for anyone else.

Great for SLI
Pros: Good 12V current rating, lots of connectors, inexpensive and quiet.
Cons: Not modular, green color is kind of wierd.
Other Thoughts: I have had two other Logisys power supplies (575watt SLI-ready), and they were performers, so I purchased this one when I upgraded to a Phenom.
Works great, powers my system which consists of 8750BE, two 3850 in Crossfire, 250GB SATA drive, two optical drives, GB DDR2 and other minor fans/lights.

Pros: UV wire cover
Cons: I actually bought this product from another site but since i have nothing better to do i figured i would read what ya'll had to say about this product. after reading all the reviews i desided that i should really check it out just to make sure. And just as i thought it was DOA.. future thought on this is to read the reviews which i did with my other components. just happened to miss the PSU i will be returning it tomorrow.
Other Thoughts: I agree with the sticker thought i mean really who does that.

Was good for a while
Pros: Lots of connector, glows nicely under UV light, nice green mesh around cables
Cons: Bought this for a new budget gaming rig and have been running it for over two weeks now and am having problems. I have been troubleshooting why my computer has been randomly shutting down under peak load and have deduced that the reason is that the 12+ volt rail is really low. Therefore when it is under high peak it shuts down due to undervoltage. Now I am RMAing the thing.
Other Thoughts: Was great for a while. Cheap and efficient until random shutdowns. Now upset and returning for refund. I do not recommend due to the thing being unreliable.

Don't get for high-end video cards
Pros: has a lot of useful connectors
Cons: shuts right down (off) when using a higher-end video card playing games after a bit (around 45mins to 1hr). i have more than adequate cooling so cooling is not the problem.

Buyer Beware
Pros: Cheap, quiet and comes in a standard size. Plenty of cables. SLI and Crossfire ready. SATA and Molex.
Cons: This went right in, fired up with no problem. Once I moved the case, the entire computer shut down in a second. Opened the case, no loose hardware, so I gave the PSU a gentle shake. Each time I touched the PSU, the rig died. I put an old PSU (550watt) into the rig and no issues.
Other Thoughts: Several buyers are having the same issue with this PSU. Looks like it's a 50/50 shoot for a non-defective unit. Newegg, as always, promptly refunded me my money and I bought a different PSU.

Looks nice but cheaply made
Pros: Nice color, cables are all wrapped and easy to control, lots of connectors. nice fast shipping by new egg
Cons: The PSU ran fine for about 3-4 days and now any movement to the case at all reboots the computer... couldn't figure it out at first took about a couple of days to figure that part out. To try and figure out the cause for this... i powered the computer up with the side panel removed and started wiggling power connector, 20+4pin,4pin cpu, and the 4 pin molex for the Graphics card... none of those did it but as soon as I put a little pressure on the underside of the PSU sure enough it cut the power.
Other Thoughts: not sure if i got a faulty part or if its a known problem but is a very aggravating issue. this computer was a build for a customer of mine and due to a very stupid mistake by the manufacturer I seem to look like and idiot.

works for me?
Pros: It's green, matches my green/black motif. It works, everything has power and is running stable, it has plenty of connecters.
Cons: none so far.
Other Thoughts: Running a AMD dual core 3.2mhz, radion 4850, about 5 fans plus the cpu cooler and all the normal junk. I read the mixed reviews and took a chance thinking it would be enough power if it worked (it is and it does) and it's green so bonus points for that.

Not too good.
Pros: It came with all the connections I needed.
Cons: If I push on the power supply just a little bit, it will turn off.
Other Thoughts: It's running fine right now but I wouldn't feel good about attaching anything else to this power supply. Going to get a different PSU soon.

2nd time a charm?
Pros: Plenty of power, color actually looked great in my machine, cords wrapped and contained. 8-pin and all the extra SATA connectors
Cons: Didn't work sufficiently. Am awaiting replacement. Turned off by itself. Would flicker with a little bit of juice, and sometimes turn on, other times just a flicker and nothing.
Other Thoughts: I agree with other reviews about not running SLI w/ 8800GT's, that's just silly to me. But my setup is not that power demanding, I just got a bad PS, hopefully the 2nd time is a charm. :)

Stay Away follow-up
Pros: read below
Cons: 2 failured PSUs for my rig: XFX 680i MB, 4 GB Corsair XMS2 PC-6400, Q6600 Quad Core, GeForce 8800 Ultra 768MB, single maxtor 750GB HD, Sony DVD burner
Other Thoughts: This is a follow-up to my earlier review. When (not if) you have problems with this PSU, do not RMA it to the manufacturer if you have owned it less than 1 year - you must RMA it back to newegg. I made the mistake of going straight to the manufacturer, and now since the replacement died - Newegg says they can't do anything for me since I didn't RMA to Newegg. One nice thing is when I called the manufacturer and explained that the 1st and fixed PSUs both died and I wasn't interested in shipping them the dead unit, they did offer up a NEW replacement that they will ship me. Guess I will keep that as a backup since I have already ordered a reliable Corsair 750w from Newegg. Hope this helps you all avoid problems.

It claims to be silent..
Pros: It works for me. Powered e6600, nvidia 8400gs, two sata HDs and a sata dvd burner, 2 case fans. 4gbs ram, and a Xigmatek HSF, without a hitch.
Cons: The fan is too loud for my taste. My last pc build was mostly silent. I'm not used to hearing my machine. I thought it was the Xigmatek, but that fan hardly spins @700rpms! I thought it was the front case fan @1041rpms, or the rear exhuast @5000rpms. I stopped each fan with my hand, and the one making all the noise was the PSU's fan.
Other Thoughts: I did not buy from Newegg so I did not save ANY money. I'm taking this back today to get a OCZ StealthXStream OCZ600SXS 600W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply. Hopefully the OCZ will be silent?

Piece of junk
Pros: Maybe if you get a good one it's OK, I was not so fortunate, and it looks like a lot of other people weren't either.
The good thing is Newegg customer support still rocks, and they refunded me with no restocking fee. Nice to see Newegg, even though they're a larger company now, still has super customer service. Keep it up Newegg; it's one of the reasons I still shop here.
Cons: First one I got was junk, and would constantly not allow me to turn my computer back on after shutting it down and leaving it for a few minutes. (something with the internal switching must have been fried)
The replacement would constantly shut down my PC acting like the overdraw protection was kicking in when I did any gaming. This should not be, as my older 500w PSU would last longer under high stress before shutting itself down.
Other Thoughts: Don't risk it. Just go and get yourself a nice 750w 60amp single rail Corsair PSU like I had to eventually do and save yourself the trouble.
Your chances of getting a good one are 50:50, and those are not the odds I want to see when forking out money for anything. Don't risk it.

Stay away
Pros: Plenty of connectors for my rig. Could support SLI if your vid card does not require both 6 pin PCI-e power connectors as my single card does.
Cons: Power supply stopped working after a couple months of average use. I RMA'd it back to the company and they 'fixed' it and returned it to me. No information was given to me on what was wrong or what they fixed. This only worked for a couple weeks before it went out again. Also, when I got the 'fixed' one, the core voltage was fluctuating. I could never get 1.4v, it would constantly fluctuate between 1.325 and 1.334 and a couple other values. This caused the CPU speed and multiplier to fluctuate.
Other Thoughts: I don't recommend this PSU, inconsistent power, and multiple failures reported by several other people. Stick with a known PSU manufacturer and you will be happier.

non-profit
Pros: solid power (no fluctuations at all!!) and green-covered cables.
Cons: fans never worked... they died after a week or never even spun at all. bought three and three had to be returned. Its a shame because the one that worked worked fantastic...for a few days.

Good PSU,NOT for SLI
Pros: -all connectors needed -reliable,good quality
Cons: -color -lousy retail package
Other Thoughts: I'm a small business reseller. I bought more then a dozen of this PSU's.
Keep in mind,the price says it all. Don't use it in high powered gaming computers. Reading reviews like: "Could not power up my two 8800GTX" is laughable. Who would use a $50-60.- PSU to power $800.- worth in Video cards? The PSU will work fine with any CPU (single,dual,quad) and ONE good Video card up to Geforce 8800GT/9600GT or Ati HD2900/HD3850. I would NOT use it with only ONE high-end card like 8800GTX or Ati HD3870 and above,not even to speak of using two cards SLI or crossfire.

Logisys Powersupply
Pros: none
Cons: After running this powersupply for only a week it burned up on me. I built a new CPU and wanted to try the best Logisys powersupply they had, inside this powersupply is a logisys logo label well after running my cpu and coming home one night i computer was shut off and no power to the board, the label inside the powersupply some how heated up and fell off and landed in the fan casuing the fan to seize which overheated the powersupply.
Other Thoughts: Why would you put any type of brand label INSIDE of your powersupply, that just setting yourself up for failure.

Good if not the best at this price range
Pros: To be quite honest this power supply is very stable as well as has alot of connector cables. It powers alot and fits well in my apevia midtower case. i was surprised how great this powersupply is for the price I paid... it is good for 8800gt sli however I use an energy efficient asus motherboard as well as a quad core processor. It powers my case fans just fine and to be quite honest...it will power mostly anything you throw at it...for the most part
Cons: none...Its green like my case but if you dont like green its still not noticible from the outside of the case...

Not Good
Pros: None
Cons: Hello , before there was review when my Girlfriend Yuki added a comment and I needed to correct the rating one that. Also before the motherboard was fried to dead, the power unit made some very weird sounds when I open the box and install it, 5 days after this the my motherboard fired and my tower was in smoke, I lost everything in my computer because if i didn't have a no windows side panel my house will be on fire. Luck for us we were there to clear out the smoke and baby fire. I am trying to make a lawsuit against company for releasing a very dangerous product out on the market. Motherboard, harddrive and even tower was all replace. what a waste of 70 dollars. That counts for shipping.
Other Thoughts: Will never buy this product or recommed it to anyone.

Ok Product
Pros: This product was a good product but I am not going to give it a 5.
Cons: it had it power failures at time when it blow up my motherboard and had to get another one.
Other Thoughts: I should sue the company for this. Blowing up motherboards were not part of the deal. I had to spend more money getting another one and I have replace the powersupply with a 1200Watt now. But not same company

Just what I was looking for
Pros: Great, just great
Cons: Don’t expect it to run two high end video cards, you should go higher with a pci-e dedicated power supply for SLI in 800watt range. This is not for your super ultra sli usage. If you thinking that go back to computer store, buy computer building for dummy's.
Other Thoughts: This is excellent for my build just what I was looking for runs the 9800 GTX great, and gives plenty of power for 9850.

Good so far
Pros: Green matches my case, 80+ certified, dual pciex, and stable voltage. Long enough cables for my setup, fairly quiet.
Cons: none so far.
Other Thoughts: I must be lucky because ive ordered lots of things from newegg and never recieved a DOA part or one that has quit working. Other reviews say their psu quit working but this one is still kicking. :>E6320@3ghz, Msi p6n sli, 4gigs dd2 800, 2 Msi 9600gt's in sli, 1 hd and 4 case fans.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I know that some times you get things like this {DOA} can't be mad just got to try another one.

Burnout
Pros: It was cheap.
Cons: After having this power supply for approx 48 hours one of the capaciters popped rendering it completely useless. I guess you get what you pay for.
Other Thoughts: I just went out and bought a 650w Antec True Power Trio for about 80 bucks. This was about 25 bucks more than the LOGISYS, and I hear it is a good company so hopefully this one will last.

So far so good!
Pros: Cheap 650W PSU. Lots of connectors. Runs cool and quiet. It's green :)
Cons: It won't cuddle with me at night...
Other Thoughts: I have one of the only green cases I've ever seen, and this PSU seems like it was made for my case :) I don't know how stable it is yet, but it's been running for about an hour now with no problems, which is a decent load... Geforce 9600GT, Athlon64 4000+, 2GB DDR400, 4 hard drives, 1 DVD+RW drive, 1 floppy, and 4 fans.

Another Good Buy
Pros: I've ran this PSU vs A cooler master that cost almost 3x as much as this one with the same power rate (Watts) amps did vary but this PSU is still ticking and runs cooler than the Cooler Master.
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: dont want to spend alot and only need 2x 6 pin power connectors for that 9800GTX this will do and some. I really like good buys and this was a good buy, bought last year.

No problems here
Pros: 1 8-pin 12v rail and 2 6-pin 12v rails make this PS compatable with future cards, though I'd be reluctant to use it for SLI. The fan was pretty quiet despite the 120mm size. It does run a bit warm, but not enough to be concerning.
This was compatable with my Asus M2N4-SLI Motherboard
Cons: Cable wraps are UV reactive, but the puke-green paint on the case is not. Most molex connectors are grouped on 1 bundle and don't stretch too far.
Other Thoughts: Good bang for the buck, but nothing spectacular here.

Great & Efficient
Pros: This has good power efficiency and many SATA connectors. Most power supplies have 2, but this has 4 SATA. Runs and cools well.
Cons: soo many cables it might hinder air flow in some cases.
Other Thoughts: This is a very flexible power supply for people building systems. This one will be great for some one making a raid aray data server or even that most awsome gaming machine.

Garbage
Pros: Works good if the computer isn't used to play games.
Cons: It worked fine until I started a game of Crysis on max settings. The PSU popped, made a buzzing sound, the computer died and the room filled with smoke. I replaced it with a SeaSonic S12 Energy Plus SS-650HT and my computer has been working great ever since.
Other Thoughts: Newegg returns is great. The product died 1 day after newegg's 30-day return policy expired but they let me return it anyway.

great for anyone who needs power
Pros: It works still after months of hard-core use 24-7, not loud @ all fan runs smooth and quite. Has over voltage protection and effiecency is 80%+ certified. That saves money on the power bill ;)
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: If I needed another PSU I would buy this one, it performs as well as higher end PSU's that cost 2 to 3 times as much also after researching this has higher amps than most of your ussual PSU's seem to me thats better for the OCing

Very cool PSU
Pros: Cables are bundled for easy routing.
Cons: It's lime green!
Other Thoughts: At first I didn't think I'd like the green color, but it actually looks pretty nice inside the system. Besdies, most of it is hidden away anyway. One thing to keep in mind is that the exhaust fan is not in the back like most PSUs it's on the bottom of the unit. Keep this in mind when you're building your system.

pictures of deceit
Pros: very cheap psu with good power for the price.
Cons: pictures show 8pin pci express power conector, they are 12v for motherboards. trying to sucker in people looking for a cheap way to power high end video cards. it worked on me.
Other Thoughts: waited on 8 pin adapter and overclock ability for my 3870x2. i crank my fan and clock speeds and psu remains stable.

Get what you pay for...
Pros: It works.....
Cons: It's ugly..... It didn't work on my main PC. Wouldn't boot up with the mobo that I was using. Booted up my other PC though. I bought two. I guess I'll keep the 2nd one for when the first ones dies..... which according to the ratings, it'll be soon.
Other Thoughts: Ugly puke green color!!

Questionable compatability
Pros: 650w at a great price. Not sure that it matters though.
Cons: Exhibits sporadic functionality with ASUS M2N-E. System would power on for a few seconds and then shut right off. After a few tries I can usually get the system to power on and run (although, occasionally not all drives will spin up). Generally the system will power itself off with-in a day or two however.
Other Thoughts: Don't throw out your boxes until you know for sure that the hardware is good. I tossed mine and now I'm stuck with this power supply.

Not so Good
Pros: This is a great little power supply if you are not running a ton of equipment. It has plenty of connectors two HDs two video cards a physics card and two dvd drives.
Cons: This power supply is really loud. If you don't like noise don't buy it. I bought this power supply for an asus motherboard and I thought the motherboard was DOA so i sent it back. Turns out this power supply won't run it. I took a 300W Max power supply out of a old gateway computer ant that is what I am using right now.
Other Thoughts: I have no idea why a 300W would work and a 650W won't but it works just fine in the old gateway.

Concerned
Pros: DOA The power supply looks appealing to me, becuase greens my favorit color.
Cons: Uh.....The power supply was dead. I decided to switch brands and look what happened. X.X R.I.P.
Other Thoughts: Tried it on 3 different motherboards. There was a quality inspector sticker on the PSU, whoah! whoever inspected this one must've been blind.

great deal/great power
Pros: this unit does have overvoltage protection and will push a core 2 duo, 2X 8800GT's, 4X HDDR's and probaly much more, with room to overclock. the price has came down from $65,to a wow $50 great deal, on a budget and need some power for that 8800GTS? this will do and some. (MAX POWER 750 WATTS)
Cons: none exept that if you want it to match your case its lime green. Is that really a con?
Other Thoughts: bought this for another Pc and it performs as well as one I paid $140 with the same power rating. of course this one has less connectors but runs just as well, and alittle warm under load, but arn't they all? lol :)

good......
Pros: Does its job great!
Cons: Not as quite as advertised.
Other Thoughts: sure it has a 120mm , and its called a silent power supply, then why is it the loudest fan in my case? however I am very particular about my computer being quiet.

Works as intended
Pros: I usually stick to the same brand with PSU's but this one looked worthed giving a try.
Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: So far have not been disappointed, working smoothly and quietly running a quad core proc, 2 vid cards in SLI, and 2 hard drives and 8 gigs of ram.

Meh
Pros: Excellent power supply in terms of stability. Could use a bit more amperage, but overall, it does the job nicely. It's excellent for the price with the 8-pin power!! Made the mistake of getting a 4-pin only previously, had to rebuy, got this PSU and it works wonderfully!
Cons: Noisier than I wanted. It has quite a bit of dba to it. I was hoping for something near silent. This isn't it. Would like to have had some LEDs on it to compliment my case, but no biggie. I'll just wire some in, myself.
Other Thoughts: The colour. Man, what were they thinking?! The only benefit to the colour is that with my blue LEDs in the case, it comes out somewhat Cyan instead of that repulsive, vomitous pea-green.

Good Enough for the Price
Pros: Has features of much more expensive power supplies at a bargain price. Plenty of power connectors (EVEN an old P4 PLUG!) Should be enough to run any mid-range rig easily. The sleeving on the cables is nice, but could be a tad longer. The Fan is nice and quiet and seems to move a good amount of air. Should be enough to run my system now and after I upgrade.
Cons: The 12V rail on this unit DOES FLUCTUATE. Not sure if my MOBO has anything to do with it, but at idle it reads 11.64 and under load it drops as low as 11.4 which is JUST IN SPEC. The other rails (3.3 and 5) are rock solid which makes it that much weirder.
Other Thoughts: I'm only running an ATI 1900GT, no SLI or high-end video yet, others seem to be able to run SLI and 8800's just fine. Guess I'll have to wait and see!

I like it
Pros: This is a great pwoer supply for the money, I had a Antec TP550 2.0 and it was struggling, to power my comp, and at times would give up for a second and then instant reboot. this supply has no trouble and the air temp out the back is a lot cooler than the antec. enough leads and not to long or short for my full sizes case. I think this one is made by a better manufacturer than the rest of their power supplies.
Cons: I wish the sleeving on the leads would continue after the first plug. that is where it really shows and that is the area not covered. Time will tell if this thing lasts or not but right now it's perfect.
Other Thoughts: For the money, it's a great power supply.

Good Deal
Pros: It works and well for the price I might add. This PSU is powering an abit IN9 32X-MAX loaded with an E6600 Core 2 DUO @3.0ghz, 2X 8800GT's, 2X 74gb Raptor HDDR's, 2X WD 250gb HDDR's, a CD/DVD ROM (lite on light scribe), 2X 120mm high air flow fans (110cfm+),and a few extras the fan works well very queit and good air flow, keeps this unit cool. May run alittle warm underload but not to bad. neon green, sleeves on cables, looks good under blue leds.
Cons: wish it had more single power rails (individual)
Other Thoughts: for what this cost its not a bad deal, for the power you will get out of this thing, 750W max, you shouldn't have any problems OC'ing any thing. This PSU may not be as stable as other PSUs' rated @ 650W but I'm sure thier double in price and the performance won't exceed this PSU by much. great for a buget PC that wants alittle extra juice.

It Works
Pros: This power supply is the cheapest 80+ rated PSU at this wattage (or any wattage above 400) right now, so that's the main thing in its favor. It comes with nicely wrapped cables that should definitely be long enough for almost any case.
Cons: Fan seems to run full speed all the time, though it's 120mm so it's not that loud. It could have benefited from a variable speed control.
Other Thoughts: Excellent value for money, this PSU will save you money thanks to the 80+ rating as well as its initial fairly cheap price. It went in and worked fine the first time. No hiccups so far.

Does the Job
Pros: Does what it does best. Works great with my Fatality SLI Board.
Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: Weird green finish? but the back is all black and that is the only part that matters because that's the part people see.

Incompatible GA-K8N Ultra SLI
Pros: Great supply for the money. Great so far on all non SLI boards that we have tested.
Cons: Found another Gigabyte board that is incompatable with this supply, GA-K8N Ultra-SLI socket 939. Also incompatable with the Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 socket AM2. Gives the same 2 second powerup then power down.

GA-M57SLI-S4
Pros: Actually is a great supply only drops .05 volts on full load. Just may not work on all motherboards.
Cons: This supply is incompatable with the Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 motherboard. Hit the power button spins the fans for 2 seconds and shuts down. The supply is not defective and works on other SLI and single PCIE boards here.
Other Thoughts: This supply was made in Dec/2007 maybe they make a new revision that is more compatable.

Weird green stuff
Pros: Easy to install. Nicely finished, even though the green cable wrapping made me think of toxic waste, everything was tidy and neat.
Cons: Zero documentation. And I mean zero. Even basic "this is what this cable end connector is for" would be hugely welcome.
Other Thoughts: It's hard to judge a power supply when everything is working. The definition of a perfect power supply is that you forget it's there once it is installed, and that defines this baby. That is some weird looking green, though.

What's the problem?
Pros: Long cables and a ton of connectors. A lot of power.
Cons: I installed this in a new system to run a Phemon 9600 on a Gigabyte board (GA-M57SLI-S4) The power comes on and goes right back off. I disconnect the 4-pin from the board for the cpu and the power stays on but will not power off with the power switch. My old 500w PSU boots the system right up.
Other Thoughts: If this would have powered my new system I would have been very happy with it and gave it a 5 but if it won't work then it is money wasted.

great psu for the price
Pros: -80plus certified -lots of connectors -12cm fan -sleeved cables
Cons: -fan is a tad louder than i would like, but it gets the job done -not feeling the lime green colors -lots of connectors!
Other Thoughts: you cant get a better bang for your buck than this. 650watts, 2 12v rails, lots of connectors, 12cm fan. This powers my system well. My old psu would cause a lot of crashes when i upgraded to a vid card that need more juice. No issues at all when using this psu.

why the lack of specs
Pros: seems like a good psu for a x1950 pro if i could find out more about it to know if it will meet my needs as a consumer
Cons: there is not enough specs listed for this product here on new egg or on the logisys website.due to this iam still not sure to buy one or not.
Other Thoughts: most psu have 3 types of protection and i wont buy one that dont. over voltage, over current, and surge protection are a must when running a exspensive vid card.over ampage will dammage a high power vid card

It's beast!
Pros: Powers my build perfectally (see build below) no strain what so ever, easy installion into my ATX case. The green matchs my green fans nicely. SLI enabled psu. Lots of connecters, the wire proctecters are green! Its big bang for buck.
Cons: The black part of the PSU scartchs easily. All the wires are messy. (I have a neat freak thing).
Other Thoughts: Amd Athlon 5000+ 2.6GHZ, A-Data 2 x1 Gig 6400 800Mhz Ram, Asus M2N mobo. MSI 8800GTS OC'd big time. 300Gig Sata II Seagate harddrive (from a diffrent store) Lite on DVD burner and Lite on cd reader.

Very Nice* Big Bang for the Buck
Pros: Looks Great if your looking for different colors. @650watts, this is a very nice 80% certified PSU for the price. I am running a AMD 64x2 6400 and a 8800GTS with no problems with this PSU. Highly recommended even over the 100-150 dollor psu's at the same wattage.
Cons: none, the cables are even UV reactive. (glowing neon green under blacklight)
Other Thoughts: AMD 64 x2 6400+ Black Edition, aftermarket Gigabite Heatsink, 8800GTS, 300GB Maxtor HD, 2gigs A-Data pc6400, this psu runs these high quality parts with no strain at all.

Enough Connectors For Anyone
Pros: I run a 7900gt video card, and 4 hard drives so i needed a power supply that could take a beating, this one works great for me. cheap for the wattage, and if your looking for power efficiency, it's great. the color in the picture is a little off. i actually expected to get an ugly green color, not that i really care...but it's neon green
Cons: nothing yet!
