Pros: Looks good, modular setup is nice, very nicely packaged.

Cons: On the fourth day of ownership, I went to use my computer and it wasn't on. Power button was unresponsive. I then flipped the PSU switch off then back on and tried the computer's power button again and BOOM! The pop was so audible my wife came running downstairs wondering what happened. It also was enough to trip the room's circuit breaker. I can only speculate that there was an internal short in the PSU. Fortunately, I still have my OCZ PSU that this replaced. Hooked it up and my computer lives. I was really worried that it took my whole PC down with it. Now to RMA, well, I already removed the UPC for a MIR, so returning it to Newegg was out. RMA process was smooth enough, but I just spent thirty bucks to return it!!!! So much for the price I couldn't turn down. Should've gone with the eVGA PSU I was eying.

Overall Review: Very disappointing Corsair!
