Right Size PSU at the Right Price
I purchased this PSU along with a Corsair case at a great combo price, including rebates. Worked great for my new I7 3770 build. All voltages seem very stable so far. Runs extremely quiet. Only minus was secondary ATX cable was a little too short for the path I would have preferred. I got it connected but not the way I would have liked. Not a big deal though.

Satisfied so far
I purchased this in order to replace my lame 300w power supply in my Dell Studio 540. The PSU won't be fully tested until my new graphics card arrives. I've the EVGA GT 620 with GDDR3 memory on it's way so I'll get to see some power unlocked from the two up-grades, Yay! It'll rock since I've only seen what the MOBO has had to offer graphically.

Works great
This was my first PSU installation, and it wasn't the easiest thing in the world but this unit wasn't too hard to install. The only trick was the 8 pin connector actually breaks apart into a p4 (seriously, it's supposed to). So I feel bad for the people that returned it because it doesn't have a p4. That sucks. I wish it had instructions to tell you that, or any instructions for that matter. Also the unit is pretty quiet and my computer is purring like a kitty (it is happy that it is no longer under-powered).

Dead after 4 months
Worked fine... until it died. Like everyone else, I need my PC, so I replaced it the next day locally. Who can wait weeks for warranty turn around? No one. They'll repair or replace... What am I going to do with two power supplies?

Not what I need
I was hoping to use this for my old Intel D915PBL motherboard. But, the PSU doesn't have a P4 connector. I was stupid not to check more closely and now I need to send it back. BTW, none of the Corsair PSU's have a P4 connector, so beware if you need that connector; Corsair doesn't support that one.
