I like the appearance. decent results for the price. ideal for a second pc, or media center.
I like the price. I need a PSU for a media center and dont want to spend a fortune. Dont need any more than this wattage, as its a basic system.
550 will be more than enough for a 2500 with passively cooled 6 series card.
Good budget supply. decent design all round.
Well at least it has a power button. I bought an enermax PSU last month, and it doesnt have that. I was really pissed off. no reason not to have one.
Good price, good backup too from OCZ, their warranty system is great.
