Pros: Very quiet. No whooshing air noise whatsoever.

Cons: But, fan clicks (very quietly). Hence minus 1 egg :(

Overall Review: I am a moderately disappointed how Nexus could not put a better fan that would not click.

Pros: This is a small, well designed power supply. It's currently one of the quietest fan based PSUs money can buy. The unit I purchased has been running strong 24/7 for over 5 months now through extensive use in an HTPC/media center pc. It is still rock stable and just as silent as the day it was installed. The Nexus also radiates extremely little heat compared to other PSUs I've used despite the lower fan RPM.

Cons: It's not modular and a 430 watt rated PSU just isn't hefty enough these days for some applications (gaming machines especially). These aren't major drawbacks though. This PSU is meant for cool and quiet operation in systems that probably don't get opened all that often and it excels at doing just that.

Overall Review: The cables themselves are a couple inches longer than some other non-modular power supplies. This could either be good or bad depending on the case it's going into. Also, because of this power supply and a few other passively cooled or near silent components, the HTPC is actually the quietest thing inside my entertainment cabinet. I seriously can't hear it even from just a couple feet away; It really can't be overstated just how ridiculously quiet this thing is. Awesome product all the way around.

Pros: Quiet- next to a fanless unit I used in an HTPC, this is the quietest PSU I've ever had. Compact- excellent for cramped cases

Cons: Relatively expensive compared to equivalent quality PSUs Not 80 Plus certified

Overall Review: The manner in which the cables are bundled makes cable management challenging.

Pros: Darn near silent. It's got a fan, but it's so quiet that I can't hear it over the other noises in the room.

Cons: None.

Pros: I was a little skeptical of this PSU because I had never heard of the brand before, but it was highly recommended. I can see why. It's completely silent, and it works great.

Cons: Cables aren't modular, but so few PSUs have that.

Overall Review: I think Nexus is my new favorite PSU brand.

Pros: Very quiet, long cables come sleeved and includes enough cables for everything in my filled Antec 300. Did I mention that it was quiet?

Cons: Cables are a little stiff.

Overall Review: Would've been better if it was modular, but then again, that would lower efficiency.

Pros: Almost completely silent. I don't have an anechoic chamber, but I sure can't hear this thing running in a quiet room on a quiet night with my ear right next to the computer. This produces good power for a mid-level HTPC, build quality is top-notch, couldn't be happier.

Cons: Would've loved to see modular cabling on a power supply in this price range.

Pros: I am very happy with this product! I've been a die hard super quiet pc guy and have built a few computers for use with audio recording. I think silent PC's are a must for anybody doing audio tracking or anybody who spends alot of time working on their computer. I've been building my silent PC's with fanless power supplies like the Antec Fantom 500 and a Thermaltake Fanless power supply (Discontinued) and was very wary about purchasing any power supply with a fan. The Nexus Value 430 is simply amazing. It is completely silent. They should be advertising 0 db, you literally have to stick you ear next to the fan to hear anything, and still you have to make sure it's turing via flashlight. I really didn't know they could build something like this. Plus, I love the fact that it doesn't get super hot like the fanless type power supplies, which can heat-up everything inside your case, making your CPU cooler struggle to cool your CPU (not kidding!). Nexus rocks!

Cons: The outer casing looks cheap, it makes it look like a subpar product when it really isn't. Never judge a book by it's cover as the saying goes.
