Xkulious 5/7/2013 2:57:08 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Stable 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? Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 5/3/2013 1:04:41 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 1/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 1/5DOA Fan 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. Did you find this review helpful?

Raymond Himle 4/23/2013 7:12:06 PM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5It runs 24/7/365 Pros: I had this power supply running for a year straight drawing 100 watts constantly. Cons: Not sleeved, but at this price I would not expect that. Other Thoughts: Overall not a bad unit for the money Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
sscreric 4/20/2013 9:14:15 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 3/5 Pros: Cheap. Does its job, for now. Cons: After using it for about 5 months, the fans are now really loud. It starts making loud 'hum' sound after about 30 minutes of being powered on. It's even louder than my stock AMD heatsink fan. No sleeved cable except for 20+4 fin connector, but that was to be expected. Other Thoughts: I really didn't need a 500 watt for my computer, should've gone with 430 watt :c Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Raithx 4/10/2013 3:36:31 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5So kay Pros: It works! It is currently powering an i5 3750k a Ati 7870 2 Hard drives 16 gigs of Memory and a Mobo no hiccups yet Cons: needs longer main power cable had to use extension cable to better route/hide it in my Antec 900 case! Not enough video card power molex connectors had to use the optional molex connector my video card came with just to power it! this is on me for not looking in to this more! Other Thoughts: cheap! works! no frills Power supply dose what i need it to do tell i can get a better PSU! Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 3/28/2013 6:26:46 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Good PSU Pros: PSU works. That's what it needs to do. All cables are actually pretty flexible, even with a top mounted case with no false back for cable management, it was relatively easy to get every cable out of view. Cons: A couple short cords. Saw the cable with the wrap (20+4), and assumed all cables were wrapped like that - which was me not looking closely at pictures - user error. Other Thoughts: I would suggest this PSU for its price range. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
