Coulda been a contenda
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: ~ It's q-u-i-E-T. (not "quiTE". DUH.)
~ Efficiency is very good.
~ Low ripple.
~ Stable voltages under load, when they're on spec.
Cons: This is a solid Seasonic design, but I think Antec cut a few corners here and it is thus overpriced at $129.99 MSRP. (Notice the price drop and rebates now offered.)

I'm Suprised!
Tech Level: somewhat high

Pros: This PSU is powering a Crosshair motherboard, 6000+ CPU (slightly overclocked), 2-1G memory sticks, 2-8600 GT Extreme video cards, 5-HDs, 2-DVD burners and an X-Fi sound card. As a bonus it seriously reduces the noise my computer by controlling the 120mm case fan (4-pin Molex).
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I got an 850W Quatro for my new ...

no problems, very quiet
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: No problems. Voltages very stable. Very quiet. I'm using Fan Only connectors to let PS control case fan speed, and it's working quite well. 5 yr warranty.
Cons: As others have mentioned, the wires are pretty long.
Other Thoughts: The quietest PS I've ever had.

Antec Warranty Problem

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Antec has a reputation for good power supplies... but sometimes one fails.
Cons: If you have to return an Antec power supply, you might as well just buy a new one.

Runs great, when it likes the motherboard!
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: As long as the PSU powers up, this a very good power supply. It has great reviews, has three 12 volt rails, plenty of SATA connectors, and connectors specifically for case fans.
Cons: After having troubles with "cheap" power supplies, I caved into all the reviews that stressed the importance of a good power supply. So I bucked up for...

Died After 6 Months
Tech Level: somewhat high
Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
Pros: Had stable voltages all across the board. Replaced an old (but still working) Thermaltake. Made for good overclocking.
Cons: Bit the dust after 6 months. I've heard nothing but good things about Antec and thought it would last me awhile...but alas it did not. After a while my computer just wouldn't turn on (no post, no nothing). I switched back to my ...

Fireworks
Tech Level: high
Ownership: less than 1 day
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: none
Cons: Blew up on first run, it literally blew up, thought my whole computer was in flames. I saw sparks coming out of it and smoke followed. Had Antec before for years not a problem, replaced this one with different model Antec and so far so good. Really stay away from this one, hard to beleive that they conducted a quality control test...
