    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: 4 or 8 pin connector power connector, very quiet and it is small but gives good watts/amps

    Weaknesses:Only 1 PCI-E power connector

    Overall Evaluation: A good watts/amps for the price. Corsair power supply have always been good and this one is no exception. Running an 8800GT, e6750, 500GB WD hard drive, DVD RW drive, and a lot of fans without any trouble. I like that it is a small power supply so it fits in well to my case and it has enough cords to connect what I want. Not great for a huge power system (Quad core/SLI/Crossfire), but great for the mid-range systems that need a good power supply.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Sheathed cords for good ventilation, lots of plugs, handles 24-pin motherboards, quiet

    Weaknesses:Only one PCI-E cable

    Overall Evaluation: I bought this power supply after upgrading my motherboard. Spent $80 minus $15 rebates. It wasn't planned because the new motherboard required a 24 pin power plug, and my old psu had only a 20 pin plug. Still, it was a good deal. The main selling point was the noise level, which is pretty low. The Fry's salesman told me it was a really good unit, and so far no regrets. Other bonuses - all wires are in black sheaths. It really makes it easy to keep the inside of the computer organized and add/remove components. Also, all plugs have little grips to make it easier to plug in and take out. It supposedly allows better air circulation. Overall, it looks good. I wish it had another pci-e plug (only has one) but I think I can get an adapter. The box itself is all black, and with the black cables, probably looks as good as a power supply inside a computer case oughta.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Quiet, lots of calbes, and reliable.

    Weaknesses:None so far.

    Overall Evaluation: It is a great power supply. The package of this product is another merit (e.g., Safe package). It was a really quiet and reliable power supply. I did not recognize its sound. I may buy it again for my second desktop. Price is not expensive ($75 at Buy.com), compared to its performance and features. Strongly recommended.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Quiet, efficient, sleeved cables, lots of connectors

    Weaknesses:A little pricey

    Overall Evaluation: It?s efficient and very quiet. There are mesh sleeves on the cables and some ties for cable management. The cables are long enough for a full tower. This power supply has more connectors than I?ll ever need, with six each of SATA and 4-pin IDE. It?s not the cheapest power supply, but you get what you pay for.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Very quiet exhaust fans. Output rated to over 85%. Fits my SFF. Long, mesh-sleeved cables. 5-year Corsair warranty.

    Weaknesses:None so far

    Overall Evaluation: This is an excellent replacement/aftermarket power supply. Do yourself a favor. Do not underestimate the difference a quality power supply can make to your rig.The 120mm fan makes this PSU whisper quiet. My mobo required an 8-pin EPS/ATX12V connector & this was one of the few that actually had it that was under $100. ATX 2.2 and 2.01 spec compatible. Corsair offers a 5-year limited warranty vs. the 1 to 3 years that most Antec PSU's offer. No complaints yet. I'll probably buy another one.
