Loud under any load
Pros: - Cheap
Cons: - Loud - Too Cheap - Coil Whine I had this for about 2 weeks before I returned it for a refund. Apparently, the manufacturer who made the circuit board used subpar parts. The power supply make a loud whine under any load more than idle. I bought a Rosewill Capstone 750W-M and was much more impressed by the quality.

Expansion Slots Don't Line Up
Pros: - Cheap - Spacious - Lots of fan spots - Decent Quality
Cons: I have two minor problems with this case: 1. The sides of the case have a tendency to warp which makes putting them back on a hassel. 2. The expansion slots don't quite line up with my graphics card. The frame of the slot overlaps with the HDMI port on my card slightly which makes it short out when the HDMI is plugged in. Unfortunately this has prevented me from being able to connect my TV through my graphics card. I was able to work around it by using my motherboard ports but I can't use graphic intensive programs on my TV. I only took 2 stars off because it's a pretty decent case but the fact that I can't use my HDMI port has been somewhat limiting. This may be only a problem with my case though.

Good Product, Poor Rebate Service
Pros: I bought this to replace a CORSAIR CX series CX750 power supply that extremely loud from what I determined to be be coil whine. Pros: - Relatively Quiet - Semi-modular - Good Warranty - Solid Manufacturer (Super Flower) - One of the cheapest 750W power supplies
Cons: - Some cables are on the short side - Never received my rebate
Overall Review: I really like this product but I was very disappointed with the rebate service. I never received my rebate because my submission was disqualified due to an invalid address. Apparently, they don't ship to PO Boxes. This is a problem for a few reasons: 1. My billing address is a PO Box 2. I can't receive mail at my rural location 3. No where that I saw did they state PO Boxes are invalid Since every other rebate I filled out when I built this computer required the billing address, I mistakenly assumed that it would work for this one.
