TOP FAVORABLE REVIEW
Stable and working

I was worried when I bought this PSU because of all the bad reviews. My fears were false. This thing works perfectly, with no trouble at all. I decided to wait for 2 months to see if it would break down but thankfully it didn't.

None at all.

I am running a Geforce 8800 GTS 512mb, two HDs, Q6600 Intel Quadcore, Abit IP35-e, 4 GB RAM and Windows Vista 64bit Ultimate.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Defective wiring

Excellent modularity, solid case, quiet, stable power

one of the modular power connectors for Molex (CD-ROM, HDD, etc.) came cross wired from the factory - blew a 500GB drive and a DVD-RW before I figured out the drive/DVD weren't defective, the cable was

normally antec is highly reliable, but this kind of Quality Control mistake on a $100 PSU?!

Features
FeaturesHighly efficient (upto 85%), one super-silent 80mm fan keeps Neo HE cool; less than 18dBA noise level. Advanced Cable Management System improves internal airflow and reduces system clutter by allowing you to use only the cables you need. Universal Input with Active PFC: Use anywhere in the world without worrying about input voltages; Active PFC improves voltage stability and delivers environmentally-friendlier power. Dedicated Power Circuitry: Delivers safer, more reliable output to your system’s delicate components. Includes dedicated voltage outputs, triple +12V output circuits, voltage feedback circuitry, and tighter ±3% regulation for improved system stability. ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V compliant; backward compatible with all ATX12V systems. Three +12V output circuits provide maximum stable power for the CPU independently of the other peripherals. Accurate power rating allows Neo HE to deliver its full rated power, 24 hours a day rated at 50ºC. Low-speed 80mm fan delivers whisper-quiet cooling and ensures quiet operation by varying fan speed in response to load and conditions. SATA connectors for your Serial ATA drives. Industrial grade protection circuitry prevents damage resulting from short circuits (SCP), under voltage protection (UVP), power overloads (OPP), excessive current (OCP) and excessive voltages (OVP).
