Antec earthwatts EA430 430W Continuous Power ATX12V v2.0 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: All Antec EarthWatts, NeoHE's, and Trios are manufactured by Seasonic, and that is what the UL (E104405) will confirm as well. The EarthWatts has 80+ efficiency from 20-100% loads, excellent voltage regulation, low ripple, and even though it claims to have dual 12V rails it's actually a single 30A 12V rail. It also comes with a 3 yr. warranty, and Antec has one of the best warranties in the business.

Cons: It's not modular and it's rather plain looking.

Overall Review: We can only hope that Antec continues offering high quality psu's that do not use fuhjyyu caps!

Pros: Very Quiet! I had a hard time finding a power supply that was quiet, but this one was better than what I expected. When the computer is on i can't hear it. There are enough IDE and SATA connectors to satisfy most everyone. It was easy to install, but what power supply isn't.

Cons: Only one 4 pin Floppy connector. I needed 2, one for my video card and one of course for my floppy drive.

Overall Review: Read the manual it works with 20 and 24 pin mother boards.

Pros: at the time of purchase it was only $50 w/free shipping. the rails are spot on underload according to my $20 multi and its virtually silent. for a low to mid range rig this psu is a solid choice. particularly if you can pick it up for less than $50. this psu is powering xeon3070(e6700)@3.2 gigabyte ds3 p965 2gbs crucial ballistix ddr2 1066 evga 7950gt 2 36gb raptors dvd rw i also have a spare that use for troubleshooting.

Cons: none, i didnt have a rebate lol. for a oced dualcore cpu and midrange gpu it should be fine. i wouldnt trust it with a highend gpu and quadcore.

Overall Review: ive used this psu in several low to mid range builds and have never had one fail or flake out(10-12 systems). for the value it delivers whats expected of it.

Pros: For those of you wondering if an Earthwatts 350W/430W is powerful enough for your system (since I got a couple PM's about this) Here are my results. I also have no stability issues and the PSU is sooooo quiet! 112Watts Idle (2.8 GHz if it wasn't speed stepping, about 2.238GHZ when speed stepped on all 4 cores) 173Watts Maxed CPU (All 4 cores prime95'ing) 215Watts in 3dMark06 During first SM2 test with all 4 instances of Prime95 Running. 225Watts "testing custom clocks" in catalyst control center + 4 Prime95's. CPU 2.8GHz 45nm Quad (Xeon 3320) 1492FSB 3Gig of ram @ 373/746Effective 4850 @ 625Core and 1GHz memory (2GHz Effective) X-FI sound card 1 HD 1 DVD Burner. The psu could handle quite a bit more then what I am running. All tests done with a P3 Kill-A-Watt.

Cons: None, just waiting for a rebate!

Overall Review: Gets my top rating as a tech.

Pros: to the reviewer 'bear' who said this isn't designed for multiple HDs - LOL - ya right. SLi yes this isn't designed for HUGE cards SLi'ed, but it could handle a few low/midrange cards. and HDs take a lot less power than a GFX card FYI. i have 8 HDs in my Core 2 Duo overclocked system (E4300 1.8GHz OC'ed to 3.0GHz stable). no problems whatsoever. i'm also only running a GeForce 7300LE (passively cooled too):-P

Cons: none.

Overall Review: it's quiet, efficient so that it's not just wasting electricity, runs wicked cool - what more do you want?

Pros: I use Antec because it is stable. I have tried other power supplies but without the stability of Antec.

Cons: None

Pros: Good price and I like to show Antec there is interest in energy efficiency. Quiet.

Cons: none.

Pros: Contrary to all this hype from review sites, 430w is all the power you need. As long as its antec power. Quiet Runs 24/7 for 2.5 years strong

Cons: Not free

Overall Review: This thing powers my rig which even at full load uses 320W max (according to kill-a-watt). Here it is: Q9550 @ 3.4ghz quad core 2x 5750 in crossfire 5 hard drives 1 Blu-ray drive 6GB ram Sound card Even the 320W was almost impossible to get to - Prime95 while playing heaven benchmark in crossfire WHILE copying blu-ray movie to my raid array. Would you ever do this in real life? Never.
