Good PSU
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: It's Stable. It's pretty quite. Works great.
Cons: none that I can think of....
Other Thoughts: If you looking for a good stable running PSU, then you should buy this. It's running my overclocked D @ 3.43Ghz,X1650PRO,2 HDD's,5 case fans,huge gigabyte heatsink, and runs 24/7 since installed it. NO PROBLEMS...

Does the Job Very Well
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: For a basic power supply it does the job well. Dual 12v rails. Put it in my Kids computer when their old Antec True power died. Has been running everything stable. This computer is overclocked to the point of stretching, but narry a gulp from the power.
Cons: I always think 2 fans should be standard, but not a big issue since this supply is doing its job.
Other Thoughts...

Decent PSU
Bought this to replace my 250W PSU because I wanted to get an high-end graphics card 8800GTS. Only encountered one problem upon installing it The two SATA connectors are only 6 apart and I need one for my hard drive and one for my optical drive whichare almost 12 apart. I solved this by using a P4 to SATA adapter cable from my old PSU. So if you need to use both SATA connectors make sure theyre less than 6 apart or you have an adapter otherwise itll be useless. And to the preson saying it wont w...

GREAT FOR GEFORCE 8800 GT
Needed to up grade my 250 watt to a 500 watt. For my geforce 8800 gt....didnt want to pay a ton...comes with the 6 pin connection you need. Dont listen to those that say its not enough...MY GRAPHICS FLY NOW !!! For all that is holy...PLEASE !! DONT INSTALL THE DRIVERS FOR THE 8800 GT that come on the cd...or your system will crash....get the new drivers on line for the card...anyways....this power supply is great for the top of the line power hungry geforce.

Works flawlessly... In a Dell!!!
After adding a 512 video card 5.1 audio and another DVD burner my computer was having issues. I replaced the stock 300w supply with this one and it was like buying a new computer. Everything is working at speed once again and if I would have known to dothis earlier it would have been my first purchase!!!brbrDimension 4700 compatible

Works in a Dell!
Easy fix for my Dell Dimension 2400 after my Power Supply failed I guess I shouldnt have added that 256 MB Video Card.brbrHas the both 4-pin and 20 pin connectors most older Motherboards use plus a two strand power cord CDROMs and a three strand Hard Drives for a total of 5 standard power connectors.brbrI didnt need the SATA or the additional 4-pin and 6-pin motherboard connectors.

Great PSU!
This PSU is great! It went right into my HP Pavilion Media Center PC and it fit perfectly. It has dual 12V rails so you know it will be able to power a high end graphics card. Also Antec is a reliable brand. I recommend it to anybody that needs power forprice.

This baby's got the juice to run a lot of drives.
I bought this to upgrade my system. I am running two raid arrays 2 disks each and have two DVD burners. Never a power glitch. It has a nice fan and it is quiet.his. I ordered online and it was a breeze to do an in-store pickup.

Works good so far.
This is the second day with this PSU in. Cold and quiet. The only downside is the lights in the house dim for a couple seconds when you turn it on but this is probably because of our transformer or something.Easy to install and compatible with a HP Pavilion a1730n if you needed to know

As advertised - good entry level unit from a namebrand company !
So far so good. Will dropfit right in on the newer A-series forward HP Pavilions & Media center PCs. The PSU has active power correction PFC which is a great plus for the price. So far the unit has performed as rated in a power hungry system running with a 7900gtx - P4 3.8gHz - and all the upgrade slots full. Good job Antec !
