Hey I just got my power supply after 2 weeks of it being on backorder.Ifigured why not do my first review. I not the best at reviewingthingsor typing for that matter but I am gonna try my best.I will bereviewingthe 400w Ultra X-Connect Power Supply.
Price: I have seen prices from $68 to $100 dollars. I got minefor$68.63 which IMO is a great deal cause regular power suppliescostabout $50-60.
Installation: Installing the PSU wasn't difficult but the maincablethat goes to your mobo might be hard to plug into the PSU if youhavecd or dvd drives that stick out in the back a bit but you willmostlikely be able to fit it in by bending it which will not harm thecableat all.Plugging the cables is easy as cake. Plug one end into thepsuand the other end/s into the drives.
Noise: According to the box for the PSU it is a low noise PSU butIhavent noticed anything really because my case fans are what makesmypc loud.
Air Flow: Not to sure about this it might help a lil bit but prob nothing noticeable.
Appearance: I love the look of the PSU its shiny and black(thereareother colors too). I like how the cables light up if you have aUVlight in your pc but since I don't I won't know how cool it is.Oneconis that it will leave smudges really easy so if you are picky makesureyou ripe it :dead:.
Conclusion: Over all I love the PSU already and would reccomend thistoanybody that is looking for a PSU that has a window or if they wanttohave less cluter when they are fixing on there pc. I hope thisreviewhelped and if not then go ahead to any other site and readtheresbecause like I said I am not good at reviews nor good at typingas manyof you can tell. Hope you all have a great day!
Also you may notice that I have a Regular IDE cable mixed in witharound IDE cable and thats because best buy and circuit city were outofstock of what I wanted so it would match the one that came with mymobo.
edit: will be adding pics in a bit
edit 2: The word cluster thing happend ...sorry.
