PC Power and Cooling Silencer PPCS370X 370W ATX12V 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Pros: Based on a high quality Seasonic design. High quality ball bearing fan, yet still very quiet. 80+ certified. Plenty of 12v power, single rail design. Just the right number of connectors for a 370 watt PSU

Cons: Really hard to complain for the price but I will point out that similar Seasonics (on which this unit is based) use top tier capacitors from Japan while the lower wattage Silencers use 2nd tier OST caps. Not a deal killer but if you expecting this PSU to last 10 years or are going to be subjecting you system to high heat levels you may want to opt for the one of the higher priced Seasonics.

Pros: Great design, very quiet as advertised, runs all the components of a $500 build with no issue. Oozes quality which is fantastic considering the price point. Cabling is done very well. Reduces case clutter. If others comments on reliability hold true I may switch to these guys for all my build outs.

Cons: Only 370W obviously. Only 1 SATA power cable. I guess something needs to be compromised @ this price point but I would've been ticked if the SATA DVD drive I purchased didn't come with a power adapter. I have the DVD drive @ the very top of the case, and the HDD at the very bottom (like most case designs) and it simply wouldn't reach both devices. The single SATA power cable does have 3 SATA power plugs on it though.

Overall Review: As usual with lower watt PSU's I was concerned about ability to feed the system w/a decent GFX card - but I have no issue. This thing is HEAVY - more so than my 650W Antec Neo. Which they say goes hand in hand w/quality PSU's. Build: AMD 7750 BE, Biostar 770 A2+, 4GB DDR2, 500GB WD HD, XFX 9800GT, 22X LG DVD-RW. I can't say enough how impressed I am with their cable management. Each cable is wrapped in black nylon mesh which is rare @ this price point. Nice job PC Power & Cooling! My Antec's (I've used many) seem to only last ~2 years - which was my deciding factor in switching for this build. If you can at least match that average I'm sold.

Pros: This PS is very heavy and the steel shell is very thick. It's built like a tank. 5 Year Warranty. Very Quiet, 82% efficiency, .99 active PFC and hand tested. 27 Amp on single 12V rail Extremely clean DC output means more life for the PC.

Cons: I got it to fit in a micro ATX case that is identical to most HP micro tower cases, but it was tight. This PS is big. This PS isn't meant for gaming or RAID. This is a really solid power supply for common use PCs. Tucking away the extra unused wires is possible, but a bit of a struggle.

Overall Review: This is a top shelf PS, maybe the very best at this wattage. The nice thing about this PS is the honest power ratings. What they say you get is what you actually get.

Pros: Silent. Hard to know when it is on. Silent. Soundless. Silent. Noiseless. Did I mention silent?

Cons: Hard to tell when the computer is on.

Overall Review: Love the power supply. The images don't show how the cords are wrapped in the black mesh. The 20+4 ATX power connector is not a single part, per se, but it does take some doing to unsnap one side of it. I wound up having to cut the plastic in order to install it into an old board where the caps are right next to the ATX power connector. Still love the quiet, noiseless, soundless quality of this Power supply.

Pros: It works well.. bought this to put in my home file server which just sits there and putts along. Seems to be very well built, with sleeving on all of the cables. Fairly heavy as well. Very nice PSU for the price point. You could spend this much on a no-name "600 watt" PSU that has pretty LEDs and UV cables and such and I'm willing to bet this guy would blow it away in real world power output.

Cons: 24-pin main ATX connector is VERY SHORT! Not suitable for a case with a bottom-mounted PSU or full towers unless you use an extension.

Overall Review: Very closely resembles my Antec Earthwatts 380w in shape and design, with the addition of sleeving on the cables. Not quite as quiet, however.

Pros: Very stable voltages, extremely quiet

Cons: Not free

Overall Review: Got tired of my noisy E8400/8800GTS rig. Switched to this PSU, a fan-less 9600GT, a pair of Scxxthe 120 fans, a Hxxper TX2 cooler (piggybacked a SilxnX fan on it to make it run even quieter), and now it all runs both cool and whisper quiet

Pros: Quiet! With my ear close up I can hear a slight clicking of the fan but after backing away maybe 6 inches I can't hear the clicking anymore. Other than that, pretty much no noise. Powers my file server brilliantly using 47W (Atom 330, 1GB RAM, 1TB & 750GB HDDs) which is 6W less than the noisier old power supply I had been using.

Cons: Cables are pretty short. This PSU is not suitable for any case where the PSU is mounted at the bottom.

Overall Review: I decided to have a little fun and used this thing to power my main desktop (Q6600 G0 3GHz, 4x2GB DDR2-800, HD4850 512MB, 750GB HDD, 2x opticals). While running one Prime95 on each core, I played Crysis with maxed settings and had no problems. Well, it WAS laggy, but no problems with the PSU. :P Considering the desktop's full load was already less than 300W, I wasn't surprised it worked. If these cables were (quite a bit) longer for my P182 and I decided I would never add a second HD4850 for CF, I wouldn't mind using one to power my desktop.
