Nice bargain
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: For the price, this is an amazingly well designed power supply. The three 12v rails provide plenty of power for a mid-range gaming system. From what I could see through the 120mm fan grill and the rear exhaust grill, quality components were used (the OEM is probably CWT). Modular cabling, except for the necessary cables that no system can live without...

Puts out some serious power
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Power supply put out a ton of power without any hiccups. Running a Corei7 system with 8 hard drives, 2 DVD drives, high end RAID controller and high end Video Card. Along with the usual bunch of case fans and misc components.
Modular design is great, allows you to use the connectors you need without a bunch of splitters and converters.
Cons:

NOT 100% MODULAR
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Small cheap QUITE 550W power supply. We will se if it stands the test of time.
Cons: The Main connector, 12V(P4), 12V(8Pin), 12V(P4), and 2 PCI-E aren't modular. I hate that. I really wish they would make it easier to tell if power supply's were or not.

Excellent choice if you're looking for 550W

Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Modular cable system. Great build quality. Mounts easy. Actual voltages all within spec. Good value compared to competition.

Other Thoughts: I bought this to use in a multimedia/home theater PC build, and after my experience I'll be using this mo...

Powerfully cheap, but in a good way.
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: 550 watt power, capable of SLI or Xfire. Modular, which lets you keep out the cables you don't need. Keeps the system a little cooler, my system used to run at 50 C idle, now about 45-47, and used to run 60 on full power, now 55-57.
Cons: Technically none, will explain more in other thoughts.
Other Thoughts: These ...

Well built modular SLI ready PSU is a great choice!
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Modular, Active PFC, ATX12V 2.2. Length of cords is great and will fit a tower.
Lots of amps (69A!!!!) on three 12v rails. SLI Ready with 2 PCI-E cables (none of that lame 1 pci-e cable and 1 adapter junk) with enough amps for each.
Every single cable (modular and non modular) is sheathed with tight black mesh with...

DOA
Tech Level: high
Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: It was inexpensive and had modular cabling.
Cons: Brand new. System would not power up. All I got was fans spinning. Only 4 volts coming out of the power supply. Voltage checked with NO LOAD on the power supply. A quick check for other reviews revealed a LOT of the same issue with other Antec supplies. A shame...they used to have pretty g...

Good PSU
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Reasonably small modular PSU. Surprisingly quiet. No blingy LED's. Three 12v rails. Proper pins on CPU connector. Plenty of cabling options. Cables are all long enough for most mid-tower cases.
Cons: As another reviewer pointed-out, it uses a sleeve bearing for the fan. Not really a con, but I'm running out of space in "Oth...
