I think this is a very good power supply. It's pretty quiet for one with two fans - I had a generic model with two fans before this one, and this is half as loud as that one. I read somewhere that this was tested up to more than 500 watts and didn't break down or anything, so even though I don't plan on attempting to blow mine up, it's good to know that it's stable. It also has a port in the back so you can plug in drives and fans to see if they power up or not. That's pretty useful to me since I'm a do-it-yourself-er when it comes to computers. My only grudge with this power supply is that I could live without the onboard fan controller cables, and would rather have more regular power cables. My computer is set up so I control the fans (mainly based on how quiet I want it) so I don't need the automatic controller.

I've been using this powersupply for 2+ years now running the computer 24/7 and haven't had a problem. Running a core 2 duo 1.8ghz overclocked to 3ghz, five hard drives (one 15k SCSI, four SATA drives, 3+ TB total), and a old ATI 1950 XT video card the entire time.

Highly recommended, very happy with the PSU.

i'd give it 5/5 stars if it werent for one con: my old psu (foxlink/foxconn) was able to turn off the fans in my chassis when i put my computer (winxp) in sleep mode. this antec psu, keeps the fans running in sleep mode.

Same junk as other cheaper manufacturers carry. Don't think just because its "Antec" its the best, its WAY far from it.
