BFG Tech GS-550 550W ATX12V V2.2 / EPS12V V2.8 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply

Pros: Awesome fan. Quiet, Quiet, Quiet!

Cons: None

Pros: This is a very good high quality power supply unit. There are plenty of connections; 4x molex, 4x SATA, 1x 4+4 pin P4/ESP, 1x 20+4 pin main, 1x floppy, 1x 6 pin PCI-e, and 1x 6+2 PCI-e. The cables are sleeved, which makes air flow better than without sleeves. Sleeved cables also look a lot nicer. The cables are very long. It can run from the bottom to the top of a Cooler Master Storm Sniper. This PSU is has a very big and quiet fan. I can only hear it if I turn off all the fans in my computer and the fan is 140mm, which moves a lot of air with little rotation. The PSU is chrome colored. I don't know if this is a pro, but I love shiny stuff.

Cons: Although I did mention cables being long in the pros, the cables are not as long when the case is full of hardware. The way 20+4 pin connector connects to each other is not very good. I have seen better ways of connecting the 20+4 pins.

Overall Review: I was going to buy an OCZ over this, but after reading about how everyone was getting 20 instead of 25 dollars for rebate or not even getting their rebate, i decided to get a BFG. The BFG was cheaper, has higher wattage, more connectors, higher output, and bigger fan. I also read multiple times that the OCZ had very short cables and the BFG cables were long enough for a full tower case. So basically, there was no competition against the BFG.

Pros: I bought one of the V2.2 not this V2.8 from BB in 2009. I did not know the difference between 2 rails and 1 or much at all. I put it in a Gateway GM 5664 (that was discontinued quick) it had a ATI 2400 xt which was to small. I bought the ATI HD4850 about best at that time and put it in with this PSU. I built a PC in 2011, Gigabyte mb 780Gx, Phenom II 955B 3rd stepping, LG Bluray burner, XFX HD5830 and used this power supply. I am still using this PSU with a Sapphire HD6950, 4 1TB HDDs, same 955B oc to 3.4 Phenom II cpu. I just wanted to say don't know what happened from V2.2 to V2.8 but mine is still going. I am shopping for a new PSU though and will put this one back in the Gateway that I gave my son so he can use the HD5830. Till it dies!!

Cons: no cons

Overall Review: I know they went out of business but mine is still going, probably no one will read this!

Pros: Has Lots of Cables, Cables are also protected with mesh harness, a big plus! Huge fan seems to run pretty quiet but I have a lot of case fans and two other pc's running the same room so it's hard to tell. The psu itself has a nice look to it, feel really solid

Cons: none that I can see other than in my case it's hard to hide wires......

Overall Review: Would buy it again, might even for the lady friend she needs a new one

Pros: -Shiny silver casing -Sturdy, high quality package, including the heatshrink on the wires -Dependable -Quiet and efficient

Cons: The power switch on the back never worked for me. Always had to unplug if I needed to hard-restart. However, that problem might be unique to my unit.

Overall Review: I had to give this PSU when I upgraded my graphics card, and I miss this one. I never had a problem until I replaced it.

Pros: I wish I could list pros for this power supply except I received a DOA unit.

Cons: As I write this I am still trying to get my item returned. Keep in mind it has been a month since I was issued an RMA and supposedly they have been sending me emails that I am not receiving at all. I know that neweggs automated emails sometimes get filtered into spam so I was extra careful to check every one of my spam emails for a newegg email yet I found nothing.

Overall Review: I have used newegg for many years and never had to return an item and I hope I never have to return another item again. This has single handedly been the worst return experience with an online store I have ever had. Beware DOA products

Pros: powerfull enouph, has all the connections needed, 8pin(4+4) 12v motherboard and 24(20+4) main motherboard connector, also 6 pin, 6+2 pin video card connectors, quiet, good efficiency, large fan, it is an excellent product overall

Cons: none

Overall Review: PSU comes in a nice box with a handle, would make a nice gift. processing and shipping was fast, got it on second day

Pros: Nice Box, and looks good.

Cons: DOA!

Overall Review: I am learning my leason on trying to go cheap on these PSU's. You buy cheap you get cheap! I opted for a refund, and just purchased a Corsair PSU that is more expensive. The money i spent on restocking fee, and shipping back this unit i could have purchased a more expensive one in the first place.
