Final comments: This product turned out to be even more of a disappointment than it’s Infinity branded cousin. It’s $5 more expensive, has the same design flaws, and the box was deceptive about its cable configuration – incorrectly claiming two EPS12V Connectors. Products like the In Win IP-S400CQ2-0 and IP-S400EQ3-2 are a much better option for a similar price.
Score: 2/10
