5.0 out of 5 stars Real good PSU, but be careful with the size, June 13, 2009

This review is from: Antec CP-850 850 Watt CPX Power Supply Unit for Antec Twelve Hundred V3, P183-V3, P193-V3 and DF-85 (Personal Computers)

I just build a new computer with antec1200/CP850 and the power supply fits like a glove, but be carefull its only design to fit 3 cases, its above the standard in height.

Pros,
- Really stable voltages.
- Cheap compared to other modular 850w psu out there.
- Looks great on antec1200 (matching color with the inner case).
- Fully sleeved cables and are long enough to reach a 1200 setup.
- Modular
- Very quiet, its not dead silent, but the fan bearly spins for sure there are other component much louder than this PSU in you average computer.


Cons,
- Size, its above standard, so might not fit you average case.

Overall if you have an Antec1200 case this probably is the best PSU you can get considering price/preformance. But be carefull if you have any other case you might look elsewhere.

This is a great psu for a handfull of Antec model cases (Antec Twelve Hundred, P183 and P193 ). Large fans and ample cable lengths provide excellent psu cooling and power cable routing options to create a clean, less cluttered system installation. This will NOT fit in most other cases.

Replacing a smaller power-supply I had in the case, I immediately noticed a quieter system and all-around better air-flow in my computer. The power-supply is partially modularized ( I say this because I was hoping more of the cables could be modularized out, such as the PCI-E power cables for the video cards). The built-in cables on the power-supply are extra long, perfect for use with the p183 which you can wrap the power cables behind the back of the motherboard (my old power-supply cables were too short to be fully routed around the back).

Because Antec is using a larger Power-Supply standard, it allows for more features and better specifications compared to the smaller power-supplies you may be used to. With that, comes a much cheaper power-supply but it does not skimp on the features and abilities. I recently built an computer using an Antec p183 case which is one case that supports the use of the CP-850 power supply. If you're going to be utilizing an Antec p183, p193 or 1200 case then I highly recommend using a CP-850 class power supply. It would be ignorant to use any other power-supply because the case is practically designed with the intentions of using this larger power-supply.

Bottom Line: Get this power-supply is you have a p183, p193 or 1200, otherwise you're going to have difficulty fitting this power-supply in your case in addition to its extra-long cables.
