Cons:None
Pros:Great Efficiency, Solid Price when on sale Comment:
Been a year and a half and it is still going strong. Picked it up for just a little less than 40$ with a MIR. Solid choice if you aren't running sli/crossfire and don't have a super power hungry video card. |

Cons:- None till now
Pros:- Very good price on sale at 35$- Good efficiency- Very silent Comment:
I got this nice power supply on-sale at 35$ and installed it in my media center pc. For a power supply with 80mm fan it is very silent. I have nothing to complain abouttill now, for me this is a good purchase for a small system that doesn't required lots of watts ... |

Antec earthwatts EA430 430W Continuous Power Power Supply
Cons:'pop' in speakers when the computer turns off, buzzes when its fan goes in overdrive
Pros:'green',mostly silent,ample power,enough rails Comment:
The connector that powers the motherboard has a small section that can be snapped off if your motherboard has only 20 pins (rather than 24). So for this psu you don't need a 24/20 cable adapter!!I bought one of these three months ago because my old silent psu from my office PC did not have sata rails and I was tired of the cheapo cable adapter that shipped with the motherboard. I liked it so much that I got another one for my new gaming system. Now I have to see if the rubberized silent case I got for my gaming rig will deal with the buzz I get when it's hot in the house and the psu fan reaches top speed. |

Cons:None
Pros:High wattage.Very good price.Accurate rails. Comment:
I took a chance and bought this PSU when the FSP was out of stock and I wasn't disappointed.The 430 watts is more than ample power to run my 3 hard drives,2 DVD writers,loads of fans,pci devices and power modules,plus a 25% overclock.I tested the rails with a PSU Tester and all the rails are accurate.The price is great,but the PP price is substantially better. |

Antec earthwatts EA430 430W Continuous Power Power Supply
Cons:No bells or whistles if you need that kind of stuff.
Pros:Cheap, works better than many more expensive pwer supplies. Comment:
You can find this for $35 sometimes which is a huge bargain. The tests for this unit show very little voltage ripple. It's built by Seasonic so you can be sure the build quality is solid. Should be enough to power any single GPU system.It has no flashy lights or even paint for that matter, and it's not modular which is a feature I love, but for under $40 with solid performance it can't get any less than 5 stars. |

Cons:Rien à signaler pour ce bloc d'ailimentation.
Pros:Très bon produit.Puissance plus que suffisante pour n'importe quel système à une seule carte video (sauf peut être la 280GTX).Très silencieux.Efficasse.Tensions bien régulées.Fiabilité reconnue de Antec. Comment:
J'ai profité d'un solde pour me procurer deux de ces PSU moyenne gamme pour seulement $35.99 chacun. Ces blocs Antec sont vraiment très bien pour le prix que j'ai payé et même au prix normal annoncé. La puissance est assez abondante pour la majorité des configurations avec une seule carte graphique. Un très bon achat et un produit très fiable. |

Cons:-only main cable is sleeved. I guess it's Antec's way of saving up ;)-
Pros:-very quiet vs my prior Antec 350w PSU-environmentally friendly-80plus-cheap (bought it on sale) Comment:
Bought this on sale for ~40 dollars. It's currently powering 3 HDs, 7600gt, 2 dvd burners, AMD sempron 3000+ AM2 OC'ed and other case-related stuff. An upgrade from my old Antec 350W. It started to emit random noises so I bought a new one. Despite this, I always trust Antec with my power supplies! If this ever goes on sale again, be sure to grab one. It's a great back up! |

Antec earthwatts EA430 430W Continuous Power Power Supply
Cons:A couple of the 4 pin Molex connectors were a tad loose, took a little fiddling to line them up. Takes a bit to tidy up the unused connectors.
Pros:Solid product, seems well built, lots of connectors, stable voltages, fair price. Comment:
I am wary of $30 power supply's, so I was willing to spend more to get a more reliable product. I was not disappointed. I researched this a lot and while there are always returns and failures on electric products, Antec seems to have a better track record than many. The voltages are accurate and stable and it's extremely efficient too. I was surprised how much heavier this was than the 350w it replaced. If you're on a budget but still want quality, take a good look at this. Google reviews on it and see what others are saying about it.As one reviewer put it.."...if your needs run towards the thrifty and the efficient rather than the flashy and the powerful, the Earth Watts may be one of the best there is."I'm happy with mine. |

Pros:Lots of powerSATA power connectors and 1 PCI-E connectorRelatively flexible motherboard cable Comment:
This was used in a media centre rig which really would probably be fine with a 350W. No issues installing and with a relatively flexible motherboard power cable, It was a bit easier to manage cabling. |

very good price with mail-in-rebate. better than buying local even with shipping charge included! one down size is the power plug-in (bottom left) sticks out and doesn't sit perfectly in the case (from hp) . This review was modfied by poster @ 10-10-07 07:34 PM |
I love this thing, it's so quiet! My other Coolermaster sounds like vacuum on steroids so I probably will replace it with this after my next paycheque.
