Great PSU for low demand build

This review is from: CORSAIR CX Series CX430 430W 80 PLUS BRONZE Active PFC ATX12V & EPS12V Power Supply
Pros:
Inexpensive, quiet, works
Cons:
SATA connector seems cheap, only one floppy connector (two would have been nice), could use more 4-pin and SATA connectors also. But for the price, I can't knock off an egg.
Overall Review:
I bought two of these in the past few months. Both times they were on sale and had a rebate - total cost about $20 each. The first one was for my father's PC, and it's been running great no issues whatsoever. The second one is for an older PC I'm playing with (how old? It has ISA slots). On that PC, part of the plastic on one SATA connector broke off. I MAY have been handling it a bit too rough since it was a tight squeeze. I'm using a 4-pin to SATA adapter I had lying around for now and the drive runs fine. I'll probably put in some sort of SATA extension (from the broken connector) at some point. Or else a splitter from the unbroken one.
With a rebate, I wouldn't hesitate to use this on a low end build.
