ENERMAX Liberty ELT500AWT 500W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Did u ever wonder why some products have hundreds of review and some only have a few? Well guess what... quality generates interest. This is one awesome PSU. Slick smooth design, well fit, all the screws too. Someone said the cables are stiff, heck yeah they are, and you sure don't want em floppin around after you place and route em. The cables are well thought of, I like the cables with 2 of each type of power connect on each one, and 2 additional cables with a floppy power connect on the end. Talk about rock solid voltage... this baby has it. I loaded up my system and ran the voltage monitor for 2 hours of heavy gaming and it never changed. The fan is no louder than my stock 350watt psu, and in fact it may actually be a tiny bit quieter, but when the system stays up for hours on end without crashing... who really cares about the difference... If you're looking for a psu upgrade, this is a strong contender. Check out the specs and the other reviews, then see for you

Cons: Shiny black finish, it's heavy, big fan, it's heavy, long cables, it's heavy, auto voltage switching, and did I mention it's heavy? Oh is this supposed to be Cons ? ooooops..... ;)

Overall Review: Alright already, stop reading review and go buy this thing, the only way you're really gonna know is to see for yourself.

Pros: Excellent build quality and very good power supply. It runs pretty cool and it only has one fan which equals less noise. The cables are detachable, which makes cable management a bit easier, since you don't have to hide as much. It also comes with a bag to hold your extra and a keychain.

Cons: The trinity connectors could've been designed a little bit better. It's good but could stand to see minor improvements to make it better, such as some additional length between the serial ata and normal molex power plugs.

Pros: aesthetically understated design, modular cabling, quiet 120mm fan.

Cons: main connector a little difficult to install when using 20+4. length of cable may be a problem for larger cases. needs dedicated sata-only and IDE only cables; having to use extra cables and having extra molex connectors near my sata hard drives and extra sata connectors near my IDE optical drives seems to defeat the purpose of having modular cabling.

Pros: - High efficiency, cool operation - Nice mesh backside for airflow - Looks awesome, much better than picture shows. - Nylon cable caddy - Removable cables - SATA support - Quiet

Cons: - Moderately pricey

Overall Review: I bought this power supply because of its great efficiency rating, but it turned out to be a great supply in many other ways as well, as listed above. I just wish I had a window case now to show off its glossy black paint, huge clear fan, and gold colored components. For being such a menial component, they sure came up with a great visual design.

Pros: Bought two of these last year or so to replace stock PSUs and power new video cards. The modular design is nice, everything went together smoothly, and both machines have been running flawlessly (at least as far as the PSU is concerned) for well over a year now. Both are running Athlon X2 systems, one with a recently installed MSI 9600gt and the other a 1950 PRO, both with multiple HDDs and dvd drives.

Cons: I was a little surprised to see that the price hasn't moved since I bought these. Though when the product is solid and moving I guess there isn't much incentive to lower price.

Overall Review: You can definitely go cheaper and save some cash, but if you do make sure you do the research on the product. Two things you should NEVER skimp on for your system are the PSU and the Motherboard. Lots of people make the mistake of trying to save on those two parts so they can throw in an extra 50 or 100 for a more powerful CPU or GPU, but the power supply and the motherboard are the base of your system and essential to its stability and performance.

Pros: Purchased after the company and unit were recommended in several "power supply reviews" on other websites for the best performance. (AC power usage to actual supplied power, making less heat created.) The first is still performing beautifully, even after the addition of my second video card.

Cons: The only potential Con would be that the unit does not necessarily provide all of the cables that are actually available for it. (3 SATA cable instead of a hybrid Molex/SATA cable.) But, this is minor...

Overall Review: System: E6750 Core 2 Duo, EVGA 680i LT MB, 2 GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 (DDR2-1066), 4 Seagate 320 GB hard drives in a Raid 5, single 18X DVD burner, Duel XFX Nvidia 8600GT 256 MB XXX video cards in SLI mode. (Note: The 8600 GT series does not require direct PCI-E power to the individual cards. Users with more modern cards may want more wattage due to this fact.)

Pros: Very quiet and cool. Bought this for an HTPC and it is working out just fine. The 80% power efficiency is a bonus! It supplies plenty of power for the 4 500GB HDD's I have in the box along with a Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 with an Athlon 64 5200+, 2 Gigs of RAM and a BFG 7600GTS. Room and power for two more SATA drives. I love the modular cables, as they helped me keep the case very neat and open for cooling.

Cons: It was not free!

Overall Review: The first brand name PS I rver bought was an Enermax, that was 5 years ago and it is still running strong. I have always admired the quality of their power supplies, and I was confident this one would do a great job.

Pros: Super super stable and reliable. Havent had any issues at all. Love how it's modular, only use the cables you need. Very quiet too. Great company, technical support, and easy to RMA.

Cons: None!

Overall Review: This runs my 2GB DDR, 4200+ X2, 7600GT, 2x320GB Seagate Perp (RAID 0), etc - with no issues.
