Not quite up to snuff & a noisy fanNov 14, 2009
By Steven E. Kelly I bought this to upgrade the 300 watt power supply in my Dell Inspiration 530, and this for the sake of adding a new video card (no luck yet). It would be nice if the seller told us how many and and the type of power leads that come attached and the number of rails (I assume 1 if more are not listed). My Dell has a 24 pin motherboard power supply recepticle. I have 2 hard drives and 2 opticals (Ok, I don't need 2 opticals). The hard drives and the opticals all require SATA power connectors. This Antec power unit comes with 2 SATA power supply connectors only. And it has a 20 pin mother board connector so you will have to plug in the 4 pin connector to fill all 24 on the MB if you have a 24 pin mobo recepticle). There are otherwise plenty of the older style connectors-maybe too many. I can hopefully use this in an older machine where the ps just died (overkill when replacing a 250w ps), but be forewarned, it comes w/ only 2 SATA connectors and a 20 pin motherboard connector. You could add an adapter ([...]), but my Dell PS unit came w/ 4 SATA plugs. Stuck at installation, I'm not able to give a more thorough evaluation.
Later, Everything is installed and SATA adapters have been added to the older plugs. But this power supply fan is noisy. The power supply that came w/ my Dell was dead silent (yes fan works). So I'll be looking for a quiter power supply.
Good luck.

does the job, but noisyNov 25, 2008
By Ratu-luke Vuidreketi
"kid©2007™"
got this for a super great price. its an antec basiq so its got only 1 fan, but the cables are long enough to reach all the components in the pc. only con is that the one fan is significantly noisy, so in a quiet surrounding you can clearly hear it. good thing is that it does the job well. thats what counts for me.

Great for any ATX motherboardsDec 01, 2009
By M. White I have installed at least 6 of these in 6 different computers. No need to get the higher (500W+) power supplies unless you plan on doing some heavy duty gaming. Easy to install and plug in. Note though that this only has a 20 pin power connector so it cannot be used on DDR2 or DDR3 systems which require a 24 pin power connector.

Works and the Price is Right!Aug 08, 2011
By Andruff
"Drew"
I recently had my 700 watt Thermaltake PSU stop working after about 6 years of use that was powering:
Intel P8600 Core 2 Duo EVGA 680i LT motherboard 8 Gigs DDR800 ram Western Digital 320GB HD EVGA Geforce 260 GTX Samsung DVD R/W lightscribe burner HT Omega Striker 7.1 soundcard Antec 900 case
After trying a 600 watt PSU from a no name manufacturer, that was really cheap I was skeptical because it would shutdown immediately when I started a game or disc. I ultimately had to send it back and the search for a affordable replacement was back on.
However, this Antec fired right up and handles everything with ease, my computer runs quieter and cooler now. I also have gamed about 4 hours a day for the past month on it with titles such as Metro 2033, Civilization 5, F.E.A.R 1-3, Crysis, I haven't had a single shutdown or BSOD. So far I am very happy with this psu and would use another (if it lasts) if I ever need another low-mid power rated PSU.
Pros - Modular Cable Management - Quietness - Works well with a single video card and sound card
Cons - none (yet)

Solid ValueDec 04, 2009
By John
"Old Guy"
Bought this unit at another egg-cellent California seller. Was on sale with a $20 rebate form included for a net cost including shipping of about $35. I've only had it a couple of weeks so far, but will sum up my impressions I bought it to replace an Antec SmartPower 450 which came in the Antec Sonata case I used to build the PC in Apr '04.. It's been running 24/7 for 5.5 years.
Strong Points * Adequate to power any pc/ video card combo as long as you don't have 2 video cards * Has modular wiring.. I personally don't particularly care for this, but will admit it's convenient * High efficiency and rated at 550w continuous output with very good current ratings as well * 3 Yr parts/labor warranty * good overvoltage/overcurrent protection so if it fails it doesn't cook your mobo on the way out.. ;) * Plenty of plug options including multiple SATA, old 4pin molex, and old floppy type.. had at least 3 options for PCIe * Cables are sheathed * Very quiet.. softer than even the stock cpu cooler fan. (and this is in an Antec Sonata case which is very quiet anyway)
My criticizms are very minor.. * The cables are a bit stiff at the ends where the plug is located. This makes it hard if you have to turn it at the connect, say for a sata drive facing the side * Had to fool with a rebate instead of just cheaper price :)
Any unit can have early failures, but this is rated at >100,000 hours mtbf which is excellent. Antec has always been a company I've had pleasant experiences with.
(edit: Update 8/11: The unit is still working fine. As it turns out it is in a somewhat dusty environment. It has shown no problems of any type, nor does it overheat. It probably would benefit from having dust, etc blown out about once a year .. in fact I expect most people's pc's would benefit from this cleaning)
