Most Favorable Review

Nice for the price

PC Power & Cooling ZT Series 750 Watt 80+ Bronze Fully-Modular Active PFC Performance Grade ATX PC Power Supply (OCZ-ZT750W)

Pros: Comes with lots of cables, four 8 pin connectors for huge graphics cards that are cross-fired/SLI. Just loaded with cables. After replacing the fan, very quiet and does its job just fine.

Cons: After a week of ownership the fan started to sound off balance. Would have to knock the case a bit to quite it down. After a month it got worse and nothing would stop the rumbling. I investigated the fan and nothing was hitting the blades at all. I didn't want to return the PSU just because the fan was of poor quality, so instead I ordered a 140mm fan from a renowned case cooling company and replaced the fan myself.

Overall Review: Worth the purchase if you are willing to spend $12 on a 140mm fan.

Pros: Everything worked great just as i thought... till it just stopped working completely.

Cons: Died after 6 months, Never put any abuse on it, only used 3 ports, never dropped. Right out of box, onto table, 6 months later DEAD.

Overall Review: Re arranged room, plugged it back in then the ethernet cables and it had shown no activity, dead.

Bang for your buck

Pros: One gig of DDR3 for only $44 pretty cheap. Has a nice little heat-sink and a little fan to keep it cool. It's silent.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Bought it for an mmorpg and get off of the bad integrated graphics. Can reasonably run World of warcraft @ 1440x900 with basic settings.

Works just fine
