Nexus recently introduced a new line of power supplies they say is 80-plus efficient, with modular cables, and extremely quiet. The NX-8060 is the flagship we torture test in this review.

The NX-8060 brings Nexus up to date with the modern competition of high power, 12V-centered, high efficiency power supplies. The NX-8060 has plenty of power for quiet PCs, an excellent cable management system, excellent voltage regulation, high power fact...

Antec's Earth Watts is not the first envronmentally friendly power supply we've looked at but Antec's market clout is considerable, so the release of the Earth Watts suggests that Green computing is going mainstream. What makes it environmentally friendly...

The Earth Watts may be aimed squarely at the (emerging?) Green computing market, and worthy of praise on other merits. It's highly efficient thanks to an 80 Plus certified design, it has excellent electronics (as demonstrated by our rigorous electrical te...

The S12 models have been the quietest, fan cooled, high efficiency ATX power supplies reviewed by SPCR. Now, 80 Plus approved versions are available for

For a high end, blazing performance, dual-graphics, overclocked monster of a system, we know of no quieter power supply than the Energy Plus. Acoustically, the Energy Plus has surpassed our expectations of what is possible from a quiet power supply and se...

The Seasonic S12 power supplies need no introduction. It's been a favorite on SPCR since its introduction a year ago. Now, it has been updated with longer, sleeved cables and lower capacity models boast a PCI Express connector. This time around we look at...

The newest version of the S12 brings some much requested features to the table, mostly to do with cable selection and management. Those who were requesting the features will no doubt be thrilled, but we can't help but notice that none of the improvements...

The NSK2400 is described by Antec as a desktop case, which suggests a throwback to an earlier era. The cosmetics and styling leave no doubt that this case is designed to blend well into modern audio/video equipment racks. The NSK2400 was designed expressl...

So, is the Fusion worth paying double the price of the NSK2400? If you like the gimmick effect of the VFD, by all means. It's fun to play with, and the information that it provides at a glance may be quite useful, especially if the driver can be improved....

Antec steps up to the line again with a brand new mid-tower case and power supply in their high-end Performance One line. It's an all-steel case with many unique features that will delight PC silencers. You could call it a post-P180 case. The Antec P150 w...

The Antec SOLO is a welcome revision of the P150 case. The new style should help the solid airflow and unique hard drive mounting system appeal to a whole new market segment. And, if the NeoHE 430 that comes bundled with the P150 is unneeded or unwanted,...

It's a step up from the 450W model we reviewed a while ago, and it has the same range of features, high efficiency, and compliance with both ATX12V 2.xx as well as EPS12V. This means, for instance,

There is much to like about the Real Power 550. Cooler Master's decision to rate it according to its continuous output spec is commendable. The added support for EPS12V also speaks well of the design, as it has more stringent requirements than ATX12V spec...

Or

The second change to the PSU channel simply implements the silicone padding around the PSU frame in a better way. The original mounting system attempted to isolate the power supply by surrounding it with a thin silicone pad. However, the pedestal on which...

In Part One of this 2-part review, Ralf Hutter installed a low-power, low thermal Pentium-M system in his sample Antec P180 and tweaked it for minimal noise. RH's acoustic analysis relies on what he heard, but you'll find his conclusions well-supported, l...

black color scheme looks really nice to me, black color scheme looks really nice to me

Extremely tight mounting clips, Power LED a bit too bright

We are confident that the P180 is a superior case for silencers and power enthusiasts alike

Scythe's latest kick at the fanless can is another tall heatpipe heatsink with a loosely spaced fins structure. Unlike the earlier NCU series, which were made only to fit socket 478, the Ninja can be used with all modern desktop CPU platforms. The Ninja,...

Overall this is a welcome revision to the Ninja heatsink; now the Ninja has support for all modern desktop sockets. The Ninja is still one of the best available heatsinks on the market. Cooling is superb, and with the included fan noise is acceptable. To...
