Coolmax Taurus 400w PSU

Got this last week from the Egg for $36.99 shipped. I saw pretty good reviews from the folks over at silentpcreview.com, so I decided to give it a try.

I'm glad I did. It's pretty darn quiet (can't hear it over my panaflo cpu fan), has a few cool features, and has been solid as a rock for 5 days.

Prime95 12 hour/3dmark 2001 loop stable powering my 754 setup (12v rail never budged off of 11.71v)...

A64 2.2ghz @ 2.5 ghz
1 gig corsair value ram
DFI lanparty UT 250gb mobo
9500pro (330/315)
NEC 3520 burner
1 160gb IDE HDD
2 fans

I moved to this from a trusty Antec 350w PSU that will find a home in my little brother's computer.

Anyway if you're looking for a decent mid range PSU, and don't want to spend a fortune, this PSU has my :thumbsup:.
 
I've never tried a Coolmax PSU, but they have one that uses a monster 140mm fan. I would love to hear any user impressions/reviews of it though.
