This PSU works great with a AMD X2 5000 with 2 DVD drives, 4gb ram, 2 500gb SATA HDs, Gforce 7300GT, and 4 fans. Low temperatures and plenty of power. Very good build quality and very nice appearance. I Replaced a Cooler Master 500W with this one and am very satisfied. I have read other reviews that stated this PSU is loud, but mine is very quiet.

Strengths:	Great construction, nice chrome-like black paint, fan is on the motherboard side, large 120mm fan is virtually silent, runs cool
Weaknesses:	Lots of cables that are really long. Good fit for a full-ATX cable but leads to some clutter in a mid-ATX.

I am using the Thermaltake 500w W0100RU PSU to power:mATX nForce 610i boardCore 2 Duo e7200 CPU2GB Crucial ramWD6400AAKS hard drive20x DVD±RW burnerTV TunerIntegrated graphics (for now)My system does not use much power. The Thermaltake 500w is more than enough to handle it all. It's stable when tested via Prime95, and the large 120mm fan stays on the quietest setting. Since the fan is so large, is on low setting, and is on the motherboard side of the PSU rather than the outside, it's virtually inaudible. In fact my quiet 640GB WD hard drive makes more noise than this PSU. It's been a great product that's exceeded all expectations, at least for my low power consumption parts.

The best thing about this power supply is that it is a strong thermaltake one. Far too often PC builders get stuck on PSUs that either die or are just not to be trusted. This is a relatively good PSU.

Not much to say about a power supply. It works and powers my massive rig. (8 HD, 2 optical, high end vid card, lots of peripherals). Thermaltake has an ok reputation for longevity. Their PS are at times hit or miss on whether it will last a long time or die within the first handful of months. only time will tell if this PS lasts or if it's chucked out for something sturdier.

I am very disappointed in this product. The first time I ordered this psu it was defective. Got a replacement from mwave. Got it a couple of days and it was still defective.
