COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power Plus RS500-PCARD3-US 500W ATX12V v2.3 Power Supply

Pros: nice inexpensive p.s. for a build that contains onboard or low power pci-e graphics.

Cons: none

Pros: Seriously, you can go wrong with the price. My last PSU sounds like a Jet about to take off, this PSU is simply amazing. Very Quiet. The center fan really helps. It doesn't not go fast until you do heavy computing or gaming.

Cons: So far none.

Other Thoughts: If you look for a cheap PSU that does not sounds like a Jet about to take off, this PSU is for you. Quiet but you can still hear the fan if you do heavy computing. For the price it's the best PSU you can get.

Pros: None

Cons: Dead on arrival

Other Thoughts: Plugged it in and nothing. Unfortunately it was past the 30days for Newegg so now I have to pay the shipping back to the manufacturer. Went out and bought an Antec power supply, which is what I should have bought in the first place, and everything cranked right up.

Pros: Quiet and works like a champ and picked it up for a very cheap price, under 30 with MIR.

Cons: Cables (except main 20+4 pin) aren't sleeved, but for the price, who cares?!

Other Thoughts: A couple of the connectors barely reach where I need them, but it works so no complaints. Plenty of leftover connectors for add-on capability.

Pros: Power, price, form factor.

Cons: Not modular.

Other Thoughts: Used this for a regular desktop and it works just fine.

Pros: I got this for a budget build for a friend and it at a price range willing to accept and it also had a MIR to boot. plenty of connections for the budget build. Seems well constructed as most of cooler master products are.

Cons: none that I know of yet time will tell of course but I have always been happy with cooler master products never a bad item from them

Pros: Works well.

Cons: It's kind of hard to find connections because the cords aren't labled well.

Pros: had it for about a year works good so far and got it for 30 bucks

Cons: none i can think of

Other Thoughts: it was 30 bucks

Pros: So far (a month), the PSU is still working and working pretty well. Gives me around the 500w that it advertises and sometimes more when I need it.

Cons: non-module

Other Thoughts: The excess cables...are EVERYWHERE (exaggerating). It is a pain in the (insert profanity since newegg won't let me >.>) though because of how there is no place to put them in my case. It's not the PSU fault but wouldn't it be better if it were to be module?

Pros: Nice Looking unit, decent physical design. Great Price

Cons: DOA Fan, just sits and twitches every few seconds. Time to RMA and try another one, as price point is too good. Hopefully not another lemon.
