Thermaltake Silent PurePower POLO12 410W PSU

Zitat

With a few goodies included, the POLO12 package is indeed a new approach to an all-in-1 power and cooling solution. This is the first PSU manufacturer we've seen that incorporates cpu and some case cooling in their product. At first I was quite excited as this would mean big savings for the average joe which is the target market of this model. But upon testing of the included CPU cooler, I was a bit disappointed to find that it cools just about the same as most stock CPU coolers. Overclocking is definitely out of the question. I would't recommend using this to be honest. Is it a useless addition then? Well, I guess the only real use of this would be for those buying OEM processors without the intention of overclocking it. This will definitely save them a few bucks. The 120mm fan though is a very good addition. Although some case wouldn't accomodate the 120mm fan, I am pretty sure that most will have some good use for it.

Pricewise, the POLO12 410w is a great buy. Pricewatch finds the cheapest POLO12 410w currently at US$69. Not bad for something that is very stable, silent and packs a few goodies. Of course, you also get the LED lightshow that goes with it. The only thing that I can fault about it is its PFC type. Although it has PFC, it is only passive. But then again, if you consider its price, you'll understand. I guess it's still better than none.
