Pros: Powers everything I can throw at it. Definitely NOT the weakest link in my rig. Looks nice - worthy of a clear case. Runs cool (but maybe that's because the fan's always on HIGH). I do not believe I will ever overload this thing.
Cons: Noisy fan. It alone makes my computer very loud. I am not aware of any way to reduce the speed of the fan on this model. You should be able to have the fan slow down when not under heavy load. This thing is also very long and heavy, which could be an issue for smaller cases.
Overall Review: Some folks believe that the rated power IS the draw and that you will have a large utility bill. This is NOT what that number means. If your PC requires only a few hundred watts that's all you'll use. Just don't over over 1,000 watts (not sure how you could). The manufacturer makes the case that using a stronger PS means greater efficiency and better cooling. I think I am a believer.
