Works!
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Provides good, steady power to an ASUS P5E, 4GB Ballistix Tracer DDR2-1066, three Seagate SATA drives, and an 8800GTX without any hiccups.
Cons: Thick, stiff cables could be hard to route to narrow, twisty places. Not a problem for an Antec P180, though.
Other Thoughts: There's a wee little note on Antec's site that mentions when using a gfx card with 2 PCI...

Good steady power
Tech Level: somewhat low
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Modular cabling is nice and easy to install. Very steady delivery of power.
Cons: Clips on the cables are more fragile than any I have ever used. I broke one of the SATA connectors while trying to run the cable from the power supply to the drive. I don't really know what I hit it on that broke the clip. Documentation is incorrect as to the supplied connectors.

Sweetness in a box
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Not to big, fit perfect in my Antec 900 case. Cables are nice and long and have no trouble reaching anything... I'm pretty sure the other reviewer has a faulty PSU fan or something because my PSU is pretty quiet. Would recommend this PSU to anyone who wants to SLI or run quad-core processors.
Cons: Only has one fan. But its enough to do the job, and enough to take me to LA...

Fan dying after only 80 days
Tech Level: average
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Tons of juice for SLI with nice modular plugs.
Cons: After just 80 days, the fan is dying. Wouldn't be such a problem but newegg won't cross ship or allow you to buy a new power supply and return this one for a refund, so you're stuck with likely a week of downtime.
So the quality of a product is very important else you ...

Poorly Designed Power Supply
Tech Level: high
Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: Looks nice, modular, has many cables for what you need...read on!!
Cons: Can't even power a single 8800GTX even with it's 4 12V rails. There is something wrong with the design, I don't know how an 850W power supply with 4 12V rails can't power a single 8800GTX??! Makes no sense. I looked up the amperage, everything, it should work (theoretically)....

Odd operations, so beware
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Lots of cords and different connectors to provide any number of different varieties needed to supply power to various devices today. This thing is built well and looks awesome. The power cord to this thing is a monster and very thick, and awesome.
Cons: This PS would not power my Foxconn Geforce 8800GTX sufficiently. I am not running SLI m...

Misleading at best, Fraudulent at Worst
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Sounds great if you read the PR on likely written by Antec. The underlying realities of the capabilitis of this PSU are badly misrepresented.
Cons: Unit is unethically misrepresented: Marketing patter on Egg and other places says it'll handle most any high-end system you throw at it. Completely untrue. Asus technical support says it's inadequate to power their Strik...

Can't Power a SINGLE 8800 GTX
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Looks nice and has plug in power taps so you can keep only the ones you need.
Cons: This power supply fails to do what it is supposed to do: POWER A COMPUTER! I can't run even a single 8800GTX with this, winxp came up with an error saying insuffcient power. I was like WHAT!! I replaced this with the cooler master and now I...
