Pros: I know it's pointless now, given that the product is no longer even in stock, but whatever. Anyway, this power supply just failed. I have a core i7 960 pushing 16GB of RAM acting as my home server and test environment (Microsoft Hyper-V, hosting separate VMs for Active Directory, DHCP, File/Print, and a few other misc. apps). Storage is in another box through a SAN. Well, the most important part of that is 'active directory' and 'dhcp'. That means that without this machine running, I can't pull an address, and I can't resolve DNS queries, and my network is dead in the water, and my wife can't do her homework, and I'm in trouble. Bad times. So last night I gracefully shut the machine down, unplugged everything, and moved it to the other side of my small home office, and plugged it in. It won't turn back on. I was very upset. Furious even, because I was under the impression that I had "just" bought this power supply last year, and for it just fail like that, for no good reason, was intolerable. well I came online today to see if it was still under warranty and it turns out I purchased it in January of 2008. Thinking back on it now, I remember that this is the same power supply I had in my gaming rig that I shipped to myself in Afghanistan, used and abused in that horrible country, on a NATO camp that suffered from frequent power problems including blackouts, brownouts, and power surges for 15 months, shipped back to the states, and have used in various functions since then. So, yes it failed, but it performed admirably under a variety of different loads in often harsh and austere environments. So I leave this to you, my Silverstone ST85F 850W ATX power supply, Good Game, Sir. Good Game.

Cons: Failed, eventually.
