Why is the abbreviation “pc” used instead of the more appropriate “%”? The percentage sign is aptly named and more appealing to the eye which is why everyone else uses it.

It is a good power supply but you didn't mention the warranty included with it… It is 3 years, the same as Corsair, which is 1 year more than other options in the same price range. For me that is a good selling point and worth a mention in the review.

The warranty is three years, as written on the first page.

“The current L8 range, backed by a three-year warranty, encompasses 10 supplies, of which four use modular cable management. Ranging from 300W to 700W, thereby catering for the mainstream, we're taking a look at the mid-pack 500W model, currently retailing at around £55.”

@ Noxvayl - absolutely pointless & incorrect comment.

@ Tarinder - good article, thanks!

Good review, but having short cables is actually a good thing for MATX cases, might consider this simply due to the price…

Hi, everybody, I am a new friend.:)

I don't suppose you've still got notes of exactly how long the 24pin ATX & 8 Pin power leads are, as well as whether the fan is set to exhaust air from the case or draw it in? I was going to go with this to use with a new build, but it has the PSU mounted at the bottom of a full tower, and I'd rather not have it stretched over the top of the GPU etc.

Looks a nice bit of kit for the money.
