Got 2 of these on sale for $34.99. I'd definately recommend it at that price for an HTPC or budget gaming system. I used this in a family computer build and I have a 2nd one lying around for backup.

- Cheap price
- Gets the job done for small to medium builds
|
- Doesn't come with a power cord (but after a few builds for friends and family... i got a few running around so no prob for me)
|
Cheap, well built and efficient PSU for a smaller scale computer build. Gets the job done from a respectable company, so far no issues and runs quiet.

This is a great budget power supply, powers a AMD Phenom II 840 system perfectly, equipped with a GT430 video card and a few harddrives, running quietly with stable voltages. What else can you ask for?

Quiet
Supports a low-medium end build very well.
|
Not too many I can think of, would have trouble giving power to more powerful machines
|
A great Power Supply for a mediocre build. I got it for a build that had a relatively low budget, and I am very satisfied with its quality. It's pretty cheap and works well. It's a great product for its price, and I would definitely purchase it for a budget computer.

Built by Seasonic, Quality build, great sale price
|
None
|
For an average cpu build, this is an excellent power supply, bulit by Seasonic, Bronze level, long cables, and only $35.00. If you need a entry level PSU, at this price, its a no brainer. I plan to order a few for stock, and i usually only stock seasonic.

Very good choice for a budget gaming rig. It only comes with a 1 x 6-pin PCI-E connector so make sure it's good enough for the video card you choose.

- affordable for small budget builds
- good long cables
|
- not meant for power hungry gfx cards or SLI/Xfire
- 1 PCI-E 6pin connector for discreet card
for those planning on getting mid-high end cards, something to consider.
|
Using this for a really cheap budget build. So far no complaints. Does what I need.

Quiet, & cheap.
|
No included power cord.
|
I got this PSU for a low spec. computer, and so far it's turned out to be a pleasant surprise.
Good:
- Very quiet.
- Very inexpensive, especially via sale or pricematch.
- Single 12 Volt rail.
- Reasonably long cables... I had no problem reaching everything in a mid tower case.
- Nicely sleeved cables, and enough of them for most low spec. systems.
- Antec product, which means they'll stand by it if something goes wrong(which I previously found out, firsthand).
Bad(mostly nitpicky stuff):
- Not modular, making it a bit more challenging to stow the unused cables.
- No included power cord, but then leaving that out no doubt helps keep the price low, plus I already had several spares, so as I said, kinda nitpicky.
If I was building another low spec. system, with somewhat lower power requirements, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one of these, given the quiet operation, and the low price.

-awesome psu
-long cables with lots of molex and sata
-Works really well
|
-only one PCI power cable
|
this is a awesome psu for the price. It is super well built and has very long cables which most low price PSUs don't. The only problem is it only has one PCI power plugin which is disappointing if your using any graphics card above a 550ti.

Good, quiet power supply that gets the job done and has more than enough power unless you have dual graphic cards system.
It's good it doesn't come with a power cord since in my case I already have a few laying around. Definitely recommend.

user-friendly, easy to understand setup guide
|
some users may think the big fan is too noisy comparing other Power supply models in the market
|
to an average computer user, this is an affordable power supply in the market.
simple to setup, take an average of 15 minutes to install into a brand new computer
maybe a bit later if switch out an old power supply

OEM is Seasonic AFAIK
Cheap for a Seasonic 450w
80plus
Quiet
|
No power cord
|
Everything I've read indicates that the OEM of this power supply is Seasonic, which make some of the best power supplies out there. So for what I paid, this is a great deal.
The only thing I can complain about, is that it doesn't come with a power cord, which is kind of unusual for a retail power supply. Not a big deal as they're a few bucks and I had some lying around anyway.
Recommended for smaller - midrange builds. Will be better than a no-name 500-550w.

Been using in a system for over 2 months and so far, so good. If you are like me that has more than a dozen power cords lying around it wouldn't bother you that it doesn't come with one.

The power supply runs a little warm.
|
Just put the PSU in my computer and the thing is way too noisy and runs fairly warm. I replaced it from a CoolerMaster 400w low end supply, that I paid $35.00 for. The CM ran quiet, didn't even know the fan was on and there was no heat from the supply. The review for the CM stated that the voltage ripple was too noisy but within limits, so they didn't recommend it. Everything else was extremely well builtin the CM. I decided to try the better made Antec that was on sale. After a couple of days the noise from the fan stopped. I decided to try another one. The PSU arrived today. No noise from the fan but still little warm. See how it goes. I did rate it a 3 star but now the fan is quieter I will change my rating.

An older system's power supply had to be
replaced.
Did not need anything fancy.
Unfortunately the button to get the power
cable (sold separately) would not work.
Oh well, have some extras cables kicking around here...

Quiet
Good voltage regulation and ripple
Based on the quality Seasonic S12II platform
|
Not (semi)modular
|
Very nice power supply for the money. It's built on the quality Seasonic S12II platform so you know you'll have good voltage regulation and other internal readings. The PSU is very quiet at idle and just audible under load. Would recommend to others for sure.
It's not really a con but I wish this came with a 2nd 6(+2)-pin PCI-E connector since a 450W PSU like this can powered a non-overclocked system that includes a GTX 560Ti but I understand the 2nd connector wasn't included so people wouldn't try to power something like a GTX570 or 580.

Très bon manufacturier.
Très silencieux.
Certifié 80+.
Une très bonne affaire à 35$.
Bonne longueur de câblage.
|
Câblage pas modulaire comme montré dans les images initiales du produit.
Câble d'alimentation 120 Vac non-inclus.
|
Ce bloc d'alimentation a une très bonne qualité de fabrication. Le courant sur le rail 12Vcc est plus que suffisant pour la majorité des systèmes typiques avec une seule carte graphique et un processeur moderne. La longueur du câblage est acceptable pour la majorité des boitiers communément utilisés. Le ventilateur est pratiquement inaudible. Un très bon achat pour un système moyenne gamme.

- Couldn't find anything better at the price it was on sale. I think 30$ or 45$ at the very most.
- Can you believe it's SLEEVED and also 80PLUS Bronze at such a low price?!
|
- For some funny reason they had to cut the price on the power cord (-_-) so don't forget to buy one here.
|
Really does the job, with these 80PLUS Bronze power supply being less and less expensive, anybody building a new computer without these would be stupid. If it woulnd't have been at a crazy sale price I would have took the Corsair 430W that I took for my sister.
