Antec Earthwatts EA-500 - Stability, Powerful,...Strengths: 500W power, 80% efficiency with active PFC, reliable 3yr warranty Weakness: Plain looking, 80mm fan, non-sleeved wires Antec is a great brand, I've been using Antec power and case for the past 7 years, they've never failed me. This Earthwatts is their new series based on 80% efficiency using active PFC. It's suppose to reduce power bill, and also allow for cooler operation. It only has a 80mm fan, which is enough to keep up the temperature. The fan's also very quiet, comparable to other power supplies with 120mm...

High-Efficiency Power-SupplyStrengths: Plenty of watts; 80% efficiency; 3-year warranty Weakness: Modular cables would be nice This power supply works great! I was doing a new build with an 8800GTS video card, a couple of hard-drives, a DVD burner and an ASUS P5WDH motherboard. Installation was a snap, there were plenty of cables and no problems powering everything. There have been issues with the Antec NeoPower supplies and ASUS motherboards, but not this model. I like the fact that it is 80% + efficient, which means it...

cannot power today's Phenom systems and GPUsStrengths: good marketing gimmick Weakness: cannot power today's systems I had a problem with not enough power from Antec Earthwatt EA 500 and do not recommend it for today’s systems. My board wouldn’t boot, thought it was board but after much work determined it was power. I do not recommend you buy this for a new system. Be careful as you spec out power for your new system and you have to pay attention to AMPs not just watts. I wasted a lot of time because of...

Quiet, Efficient Power SupplyStrengths: Quiet. Plug-ins are numerous and easily accessible. Comes with numerous cables. Weakness: No bells or whistles or blinking lights or strobes. It's a power supply, OK, and the price was right. I have been satisfied with Antec's products in the past and have no reason to be dissatisfied now. It does a great job powering my system, which inclu

Power your computer reliably, and help save the...Strengths: 500 watts, more than enough for most needs. 3 year warranty. It's an Antec! Weakness: No modular cables. Not very attractive. Cosmetically, there's no bling; it looks like older 250W power supplies with no paint or character. However, this is an Antec, and is performing as advertised; sucking much less electricity out of the power grid and less money out of my wellet. Some folks might want a higher wattage unit, but this is suitable for most non-gaming everyday systems. Other companies promise lifetime warranties, but...

earthwatts EA500 (500 Watt ATX12V v2.0 PSU)Strengths: Quiet, 500W power, stable Weakness: none. Bought it at good price after rebate. It is 500W , plenty of power, running with 2 SATA 7200 Hard drives, 2 DVD burners, PNY 7900GS video card, AMD 64x2 4000+, no problem at all. It is very useful for having those connectors for SATA, PCI-e, CPU, which also keeps my computer running more stable. The fan's very quiet. It will be a little hot after 2 hours game playing. Wish it has modular cables,...

Seems to work wellStrengths: Does not get hot " 80% efficiency " switch is on top Weakness: not modular. one fan Replaced an old Antec with this model and the computer is working just fine. I hope the " 80% efficiency " will lower the power consumption. Only one fan, but it does not get hot so really does not need a second fan. Also, It is version 2.2 (not 2.0).

Antec EA500 EarthWatts Power SupplyStrengths: Cool, quiet, extremely efficient Weakness: modular cables would be nice Switched to this power supply from the Antec 500w Phantom. This power supply is just as quiet (which is to say, silent), but it stays much cooler than the Phantom. I assume this is due to the increased efficiency. At any rate, I am very pleased with this power supply.

Antec EarthWatts EA500
Strengths: 80-plus efficiency rating. Very quiet. Reasonable price. Good quality and output.
Weakness: Plain look. Not modular.
Bought this from newegg for a very reasonable price after rebate. It is adequate power for an E6750, 2GB DDR-800, 8800GT and have had no problems with it at all. Love the fact that it is so quiet, paired with my Antec quiet-computing certified case, makes the computer hardly audible.
