Advantages: Modular so there's no mess with cables, made by CoolerMaster Disadvantages: The sheathing around the cables can make them hard to handle
into tight gaps or go through small spaces.
If you're looking for a good quality, quiet stable powersupply at a decent price then you can't go wrong with this one. It's also great for a system where minimal noise levels are a requirement. THe only reason this didn't get 5 stars is because although 520watts is more than enough power for a normal computer system, more powerful (although not necessarily the same quality) PSU's are available for a similar price. ...
Advantages: Modular cables! Disadvantages: None for me.

Running Call of Duty 4 on my Athlon 64 x2 6000, GeForce 8800GTS 512 it still only pulls less than 300w which give plenty of headroom for expansion, and using SLi if i could afford to!
That is not an excuse to use a lower wattage PSU as they could perform more inefficiently when running close to capacity.
In response to a comment, i personally haven't noticed a difference in the cooling for my PC, this is probably due to the fact that in the CoolerMaster CM690 case the PSU is mounted at the bottom with the fan blowing hot air out underneath the case, also in my case there is rubber mounts around it to reduce noise.
I agree it does look big and noisy but i think the reality is that any noise is not overpowering. ...
Advantages: Very cheap, 2 fans Disadvantages: None
Arguably the most important component inside your PC is its powersupply, the powersupply unit (PSU) provides the power to every other component inside your computer ie: Motherboard, hard drive, processor, graphics card etc etc... and all these components require a powerful and extremely stable PSU in order to operate as intended.
14 months ago i built my current PC and opted to use the Q-tec 550 watt dual fan gold as its powersupply unit, most modern day PC powersupplies average around 350 watt and they are predominantly fine for most PC's but as you add extra components to your PC like extra hard drives, or a faster processor or faster graphics card then you may get close to reaching the limit of your particular powersupply which can result in either the PSU not functioning properly (causing serious system instability) or in ...
