I bought this to replace a brand new EVGA 1000w Gold that was DOA. This power supply was significantly more expensive than the 1000w, but I didn't really need 1000w and I did need this ASAP (next day delivery) so I reluctantly paid the extra money.
What I like: all modular, use only the cables you need. All cables are very heavy-duty and bound in an unobtrusive black cable sleeve. I needed an 8+4 CPU power cable, this has 8+8 (4+4, 4+4), so this should work for future upgrades. It's also extremely quiet.
What I don't like: The price, first of all - but oh well. I honestly don't care that it has a power-saving setting to prevent the fan from turning on except under higher loads - but the positioning of the switch for this setting is incredibly inconvenient; it's behind all the cabling, in fact you can't even see it once it's installed, nor can you reach it with the cables plugged in. As such, I just left the switch off, so the fan runs all the time. It's not loud at all, can't even hear it over my other fans.
Since my purchase before this was the DOA EVGA, I was leery about buying the same brand again - but looking at reviews of other brands, DOA items are a gripe from all of them - just luck of the draw, I guess. I'm happy with this PS, but the price did hurt!
