Looks good - especially the price. :) I might be looking for a PSU for a new build at Christmas time, and this looks worth serious consideration.

Especially as (according to Scan) the Straight Power equivalent (Gold rated and 5% more efficient than this Pure Power) is nearly 50% more to buy.

An impressive PSU with an even better price tag. I would definitely go with this instead of an OCZ ZS or XFX Pro unit if I were to make a new build, cheaper and semi-modular, doesn't get much better :p

It's a shame the warranty isn't 5 years or more like some other manufacturers, but you can't argue with the price! :) Might be tempted to try one of the on my next build (an HTPC / light gaming PC). Has anyone any experience of RMAing a PSU to Be Quiet!? Just wondering whether it would mean sending a faulty unit back to Germany…?

I have this installed in a a Fractal Define R3 case. In my experience it certainly is not inaudible at low to medium loads, not much better in fact than the PSU it replaced in that regard. Indeed I would not have bothered had I known what it would be like. Also afflicted with coil whine. Somewhat fed up with reviews touting PC kit as effectively silent when they are not.
