"$22 wonder"

Summary:
I picked this up today at MicroCenter for $22.60, new in the box.

My old SilenX 350w seemed to be hobbling along, and I my system has been crashing of late-- and I couldn't find any other cause.

So far so good.

However-- it was NOT a quiet supply, considering the big 120mm fan. SO-- I pulled out the stock fan, put in a nice blue LED thermatake (very quiet) then connected it to my Zalman fan controls, to reduce the noise even further. I then mounted another 92mm Thermatake fan on the OUTSIDE of the PSU to pull the air through as well. This fan is also connected to the Zalman fan control, so both run silent (or as close to silent as any fan can get)

NOW my PSU IS REALLY !! Quiet, as quiet as the old SilenX which was REALLY quiet. Now I have POWER and silence. For $22.60

Pros:
$22 !!!! 400w, cool display on the front, but useless for me really since I don't OClock

Cons:
It started out loud. (But I fixed)
