  1. Good choice for a media center, I like low noise power supplies. its always something I want to change in my media center as I have a loud OCZ model from years ago.

  2. Modular at this price is quite an achievement, especially considering the pretty good design.

  3. finally, a low noise modular PSU which isnt over £100. love it.
