Antec 480 watt 120mm fan ATX 12V v2.0 power supply...

Strengths: 120mm fan, dedicated "fan only" connector, plenty of power, cool looking, PCI express compliance (ATX v2.0), VERY quiet, great cable management system, very high quality, and good construction.

Weakness: A little expensive, but it's well worth it!

You only use the cables you need! I could not be happier with this PSU. I bought it for a new high-end P4 PC build and it has performed beyond my expectations. This PSU is also 100% compatible with the new PCI Express generation of video cards. You really cannot beat Antec quality.

Antec 480 watt 120mm fan ATX 12V v2.0 power supply...

Strengths: Super Quiet, Cool looking, has detachable cables

Weakness: Heavier then I expected

When I got this product at my front door it was heavier then I expected. It works great and fits perfectly in my case. I have come to trust Antec since there TruePower series and now I have bought this for my brand new ASUS P5AD2 Deluxe motherboard. It works great and I'll suggest it to anyone who asks me which power supply they should buy. The best part is that you can attach the power cables...

Antec 480 watt 120mm fan ATX 12V v2.0 power supply...

Strengths: Extremly quiet

Weakness: Did not free up as much room in my case as I thought

Great power supply. It's so quiet I didn't know it was working! Video card fan is the loudest thing in my water-cooled case now. Would recommend this power supply to anyone looking for a powerful and quiet unit. The only improvement I can think of would be more wire options. I still ended up with a bunch of unused connectors.

Antec 480 watt 120mm fan ATX 12V v2.0 power supply...

Strengths: Advanced Cable Management. Quiet.

Weakness: Did not run stable on my MSI NEO2 Platinum

I purchased the power supply based on a review by anandtech. Unfortunately, my AMD Athlon 64 was not stable on the MSI Neo2 Platinum motherboard using the PSU. Apparently the dual twelve volt rails is a problem that isn’t widely published. The Neo Power itself has an eye-catching brushed nickel finish. What really turned me on about this supply was the advanced cable-management system. Minimal...

Antec 480 watt 120mm fan ATX 12V v2.0 power supply...

Strengths: plenty of power. modular cabling, only use the cables you need. plently of cables. power cord already sleeved.

Weakness: seems to run a bit warm. 'fan only' rail very weak

this is really great PSU, the best for modular support at this time. Antec is known for great stuff and this is no exception. Good: great look case, sleek, clean and silvery. the mobo power line comes already sleeved in black mesh and taped off. the PSU supplies plenty of power and you would only need a bigger psu for a whole lot of drives or an SLI graphics card setup. Modularity is the most...

Antec 480 watt 120mm fan ATX 12V v2.0 power supply...

Strengths: Quiet. Modular. Warranty. Antec.

Weakness: None.

Exceptionally stable, quiet power supply. Plenty of wiring alternatives. Powers my AMD 64 / OC NVIDIA 6800GT under load without breaking a sweat. When I step up to buying another video card for a complete SLI setup I will more need more power, but till then.... and would an SLI power supply currently available be this quiet? Unlikely.

Antec 480 watt 120mm fan ATX 12V v2.0 power supply...

Strengths: Very quiet. Much quieter than my old 300W LiteOn. Looks great, and the cable management system is very good. Worth the price.

Weakness: Only 480 watts. A little spendy but it seems like the price has been going down. Still not in the $50-$60 price range that many good power supplies can be found at.

I'd recommend this Power Supply to someone looking to upgrade their current power supply right now. But since it's only 480 watts I'm not sure if I'd still recommend it in a year from now.

Antec 480 watt 120mm fan ATX 12V v2.0 power supply...

Strengths: Reliable and Silent by far the best PSU I've ever had

Weakness: none so far

I couldn't have made a better choice for a PSU I love the fact that I only have to use what I need...saves on clutter in the case and allows for better cooling. also very quiet design I love this thing!

Antec 480 watt 120mm fan ATX 12V v2.0 power supply...

Strengths: Modular cabling.

Weakness: None.

Pretty quiet single 120 mm fan. Modular cabling. Excellent for a SFF with a mTX MB. A bit expensive, but the highest quality ones are always pricey.

Strong Showing: High-Performance Power Supply Units

Cooler Master sent us its Real Power 450 watt power supply. Although the unit conforms to the ATX12V 2.01 standard, you won't find a six-pin PCIe connector for graphics cards in the box. For that you'll need an adapter, which Cooler Master unfortunately neglected to include.
