Review of Silent 400w Power Supply

SnowPunk98 writes "OCModShop has done a review on a SilenX 400w 14 dBA PSU "The power supply doesn't boast any flashy designs or cool colors however that is not the purpose of this power supply. Silence is what the main goal of the unit is and there are tons of features to help achieve that.""

My 400w power supply is silent, too

Now I'll be able to listen to my 5 case fans that sound like an Harrier hovering above my house! That stupid power supply fan was screwing everything up....

come on...

The flashy colors make power supplies better - period.

The purpose of a power supply is not to be quiet - if that was the purpose I'd just make one that didn't work - the purpose is to provide electricity to the components in a computer. Duh.

HA!

Their power supplies are really quiet too after a good slashdotting!

Here's a sound clip for the power supply:

A whisper? I have voices whispering to me all day long; it's pretty hard to ignore. "Get a rifle and climb up the water tower", or "Flick that lightswitch two more times", or "Get a load of the *** on her!", or "Time to reline your tinfoil hat". If my power supply were this annoying, I wouldn't get anything done around here at all...

Female molex connector jacks. Right now you have a whole bunch of wires in the anticipation that everyone has a RAID array, 2 cdroms, and video card that needs auxially power. The unused connectors have to be rubberbanded and bunched somewhere.

If you are 100% positive that you will neither use all that stuff, nor re-sell the PC before it's obsolete, a pair of horizontal wire clippers can provide a very simple solution to your problem. :)
