Very impressed!
os:
Windows VistaFor the price im super impressed with this.
For a start, its very quiet. My system is fairly high drain too so its not like it hasnt had a good workout (overclcoked CPU, 3 drives including 1 raptor, 2DVD-ROMs, X1950 gfx)
I was going to use it as a stop gap until i bought a more expensive one, but I cant see the point, provided the system stays stable / the PSU doesnt explode.
Theres no brand name on this, but the ratings on the side sticker are as follows:
+5V = 35A
+3.3V = 28A
+12V = 18A
-12V = 0.5A
+5VSB = 2A
With 18 Amps on the 12V rail, dont go putting this in an SLI setup or anything, but for an average to mid system, this seems good, for now...
Wow!

Windows XPWell, what can I say? An excellent PSU for just short of 16 quid!
It's very silent in operation, and I mean very, you can only hear it if you stick your ear right up next to it.
Nothing bad to say about this PSU really, I mean, if you have a high end system of course you're not going to buy it; but I'm a gamer on a limited budget. and the single PCI-E power connecter is enough to handle mid-range cards, infact most mid range cards don't even need the power connecter!
Overall, 5 stars and recomended to anyone with a basic to mid-range system :)

Not that impressed

Windows VistaI'm not that impressed with this PSU. After reading the previous 2 reviews, I thought this PSU would be near silent but it's not. It creates a quiet dull hum which is definitley not silent but it isn't loud. It's very good value for the money but definitely not silent (or near silent). I bought 2 of these and they are both the same so it's not a faulty one that I've got. 3 stars mainly for value for money, lost 2 stars as it is NOT silent but marketed as such.
Hmmm, ok for the money...

Not ApplicableThis was supposed to replace a knackered 350W PSU - it certainly looks the part, jet black, big fan and lots of connectors.
The SATA connectors are real flimsy and both of mine snapped. Having used a molex > sata connector everything seems fine. Not silent but not really noisy either.
Marking a 3 because of the sata connectors - if it had cost more I'd be returning and saying avoid like the plague...
you pay for what you get

Windows Vistabought as a quiet psu to replace an aging antec 300w in the living room pc. started off pretty quiet but its getting gradually louder and whilst not offensive its not quiet enough for our living room.
at the end of the day, its cheap and its averagely quiet but does not live up to the silent moniker and i will be ordering a better one soon i suspect. should have known better!
