Pros:

  • Can deliver over 400W
  • Very efficient
  • Excellent Voltage Regulation
  • Excellent Ripple Suppression
  • Good Input Filtering
  • Good soldering quality
  • Quiet under normal load
  • Good value for money

Cons:

  • Capacitors and fan could be better

Final Comments: For a basic home or office PC, this power supply is a good option. While the cable configuration may not suit modders and gamers, it would keep the case in a basic PC tidy, and free on unnecessary cable clutter. It also stays very quiet under most realistic load scenarios, and at $40, it is much better value for money than many other products on the market. It only misses out on the gold award due to not using more reliable capacitors and a sleeve bearing fan.

Score: 8/10
