Picked this up when it was on sale for 66$ and its been great. It looks nice and is solid. The modular cables are great and the small accessory bag is a nice little bonus.

Comment:
Replaces a old 350W beater i had in old server.Needed the extra sata power. There is no shortage of power connectors now.I put a multimeter on the 5v and 12v leads, and it was very stable. I used a analog meter to measure the ripple, and there is very little. It almost doesn't register.

SILVERSTONE DECATHLON DA650 650W Power Supply
Cons: None so far

Pros: Solid build and connections, good warranty
Comment:
I picked this PSU up at the crazy sale price of $66.00 last week. I had originally only been looking at Corsair PSU's because I've always used them and they have such a strong reputation. Silverstone was my number two choice as a brand though and at that price you can't go wrong. I immediately noticed how solid the construction was. In my case, the PSU sits on two steel posts with rubber tops. The last PSU had just enough flex that it would start to rattle after a while. I was worried about this one because it's longer and the weight would be a couple inches in from the edge. No problem, this thing is lick a brick. Really impressed at how solid all the connections are too. Sometimes a modular PSU makes you worry about loosing some current or stability in the connections. This one is all good. Not much else to report as of yet. oh, basically silent too, which is great. Highly recomended.

SILVERSTONE DECATHLON DA650 650W Power Supply
Cons: The pins in the power supply are very loose and sometimes fall out

Pros: 100% Modular, I mean, thats just amazing.
Comment:
It was simple to put it, but the problem is that the connectors for any of your fans / HDD / Are very loose, in one case one of the pins entirely came out, it wasn't that hard to put in mind you. But that shouldn't happen, I am disappointed that this happened. Otherwise, its a very solid unit.

Pros: Single +12V rail with 54AModular cables8pin PCI-E connectorQuiet 120mm fan
Comment:
Very nice power supply with a single 12v rail, modular cables with good length is always a bonus for cable management and comes with a 8pin pci-e. The 120mm fan is silent as well.

SILVERSTONE DECATHLON DA650 650W Power Supply
Cons: none

Pros: -Very quiet-Looks-Modular-Plenty of connectors-Cable lenght
Comment:
I love it, it is a great power supply. No problems and very silent. The cables lenght is nice, it allows to fiddle around behind the drive cage for cable management in a 3D Aurora 570 case. I recommend any of the DA series.
