    Duration of ownership: 5 Months

    Strengths: Brand, efficiency rating, cost

    Weaknesses:no modular cabling

    Overall Evaluation: Excellent power supply, very quite, highly efficient with 80 rating and environment friendly. I also found it to relatively light weight compared to my older Antec. I read online that this is originally a sesonic OEM which we all know if one of the best OEM brands. It comes with voltage autodetection but lacks the modular cabling which so important nowadays.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: quiet stable efficient good tech support

    Weaknesses:no detachable cables only 430w

    Overall Evaluation: I like this PSU very much. It's very plain-looking -- no fancy pictures or whatever, but works very well. Its internal fan is essentially inaudible, and the power has been very stable. You don't want this for your SLI super-power rig, but you probably DO want it for your HTPC or basic desktop.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Efficient, quiet, easy to set up

    Weaknesses:No modular cable management

    Overall Evaluation: This Antec PSU appears to be a very solid build and has performed stably for 3 months with very low noise and low heat. Multiple testing sites have reported and confirmed its 80+ efficiency. The only downside is that there is no modular cable design, and there is a lot of clutter inside a case (esp. for small cases) which could block air flow.
