Advantages: Modular, Pretty Quiet, Best looking PSU on market, Extends component life, stable
Disadvantages: Cables length, there are more silent available, possible LED problems

First of all the noise level is very quiet for a high wattage power supply and is only audible if you are going for total silence or there is very little ambient noise, there are a few quieter PSUs.. but this is great all the same, and much quieter then any generic brands of the same power.

Advantages: Quiet fans,latest ATX connectors
