Solid performance for a cheap price
Pros: Sleeving, price, look
Cons: Not modular, a small noise can be heard whilst it is switched off
I bought this PSU as I was on a budget.
The PSU performs as expected, and is able to provide enough power for my rig - which includes a i3-3225, a Xonar D1 soundcard and a Gigabyte mATX motherboard.
My only complaint is relating tot he noise of the PSU when it is OFF.
It is extremely hard to hear, however if your ear is pressed upon the PSU, when it is off, from outside of the case, you can hear an electric type of noise (unlike some people who have previously reviewed this PSU on the internet, making wild claims about its noise, it isn't noticeable unless you're batman)
The other remark would be the fact that it isn't modular, meaning there are huge amounts of wires that won't ever be used, but yet are left floating about in the case. This isn't an issue as this is a budget PSU, but something that definitely should be taken into account when building a PC.
