I order the power supply and it is working perfectly.
Phani
I will only buy a few brands of PSU, and have yet to need to replace one prematurely.
J. Wilson
This Antec power supply was in the B+, A- range which was an even better deal.

It took me about 5 minutes to remove my old 300W Dell PS and replace it with this one. I have a new video card installed and all is good. This is a great replacement PS as it has older connections and the newer ones too. It has a 6pin lead for video cards and a 4pin lead for the CPU fan.

This PSU is extremely quiet. It produces almost no sound, and gives constant and clean power to my components. However, the cords are way too short. I have this in a CoolerMaster CM 690, so it is mounted at the bottom of the case. The CPU power cord barely made it to the top of the motherboard, and the motherboard power cord was very difficult to plug in. That was not the case with the EA380 that it replaced. Other than that, no issues. I'd recommend this only for cases with top mounted PSUs.

I bought this power supply to replace the power supply in a Dell Studio 540 MT (mini tower - not the slim version). The original died about 3 and a half years into its use after a storm knocked out the power. The original power supply was always a bit noisy and laboring to run the two drives, original video card and dvd-rw unit. From what I can see by the specs, the original power supply is really only capable of outputting 300 watts consistently rather than the 350 it is rated at.

Anyway, the new ANTEC power supply is a very good buy at 40 bucks. Dell and other sites will sell you a wimpy 350 watt power supply for 60 bucks or more. This power supply comes with a 2 year warranty and is quiet and smooth and gives you 450 watts of power. There are two pairs of cpu power connectors, but the Dell motherboard only has room for one. Other than that, replacing the power supply was pretty straight forward. Rather than run the cables back under the tabs in the Studio 540, I opted to use the locking plastic tie that came with the new power supply to bundle them in an out of the way location. The hardest part is removing the old power supply as all of the cables are secured in 3 different tabs/grooves. Once you find all those and release them, you are home free.

ANTEC power supplies have been around for quite awhile and as long as you don't buy a bargain basement model, you will probably have good results with them.

Revised 03/27/2013
I initially bought this quite some time ago (see Original review)
PSU is doing exactly what I expected - just getting the job done with no surprises. Solid design even though one large 12V rail is preferable (price is right and it has a solid rep). The second time seems to be showing what I suspected - just got that unlucky (small percentage) bad unit. This one should last as long as the system - no problem. Now rate at 4.75 stars.

Revised 12/23/2012
Bought another one (price came back down and made it a better choice then other options for a solid budget PSU) to replace a cheap budget PSU on a second system. Second time should be a charm. These are well made, so

Original review:
I expect this to be a long lived PSU (there is always an occasional bad one). I will leave it at 4 stars for now (I expect to set it to 5 after 9 months), and report back in several months if get a chance. Of course the problem with long term regular use tests of computer equipment: By the time real long term reports are in, we are onto the next generation and have to worry about new designs. But this PSU really does get an A for a solid budget PSU, based on components and deign. Would prefer one large 12V rail, but the price is good on this one.Unfortunately mine failed within 25 days. Simply refused to power up. So why give a product 4 stars when it failed? While working - it was exceptionally quiet and all worked well. There are no perfect products and everyone gets a bad one if you are in the market long enough. Specs on these units are great (they are made with the best quality parts, and for the money, have only a couple of rivals). Sadly the price jumped since returning mine. Now I have to look at other brands.

I bought this power supply for my first computer build and I am very pleased! I have been using it for over two weeks now, non-stop, and it has not failed me once. It is actually very quiet (not silent, but quiet). I don't notice any difference in noise when I start playing games such as Skyrim and Left 4 Dead 2. Most of the noise in my computer is coming from the case fan in my Cooler Master Elite 430. I will be upgrading my graphics card soon and I plan on updating my review saying if there are any differences when the power supply is under load. I am currently using about 300-350W.

Update: A couple of weeks ago I updated my graphics card to a XFX Radeon HD 6770 which requires a minimum of 450W and I am glad to say that this power supply has still not failed me once. I am so happy with this purchase.

450 W is ample power for a Core i3 build + 1 mATX mobo + 5 fans + 2 sticks DDR3 memory + 1-2 optical drives + 1 low power graphics card. This is the best choice for a basic power supply that isn't the super cheapo model (read: Antec Basiq). Quiet and compact, with all the connectors I needed for a simple mATX build. Note that it only has 18A output on its dual 12V rails so only very basic graphics cards can be supported.
