Comment: Antec's unassuming EarthWatts 500 hides a surprise of astounding load stability and efficiency at a reasonable cost.

Comment: The EarthWatts 500W is an excellent power supply unit which combines efficiency, performance, and is almost inaudible despite the single 80mm fan.

Comment: Antec EarthWatts 500 W provides one of the best cost/benefit ratios for the average user: it is a relatively cheap 500 W power supply that can deliver up to 577 W

Comment: The EarthWatts looks to be good value for budget-minded environmentalists, especially since its power delivery is solid.

Comment: So there we have it. The Antec EarthWatts EA-500 500W power supply doesn't put out as much power as a lot of the power supplies we've been seeing lately, but it does put out enough for any one video card no matter how high end, and I would venture to say that it could easily support a pair of Nvidi

This came in the Antec Sonata I used for my mom's build. COnsidering the case was less then $100 and this PS sells for $80 it can't be considered anything less then a smoking deal.       » READ MORE

I purchased an Antec Sonata 3 case that came with this PSU. It is very quiet and easily has enough power for my q6600, 8800 GT. My GPU has 2 PCI-e connectors and this power supply has two, which is awesome for a 500 W. Great PSU for the 500 watt range.      » READ MORE

I got this on sale for $55 and it is awesome. I have bought nothing but Antec PSU's/cases for the past 8 years and I have never been disappointed. This power supply is quiet and reliable. And for my purposes 500W is more than enough. I suppose some people may need more, but I don't know any of those people...?       » READ MORE

I got this for only 55$ and now I run a quad core Q6600 j 3ghz and a 8800gts with no problem. I am surprised by how quiet and cold this psu run.      » READ MORE

I purchased this a month ago and done some test and it didn't fail me one bit. Antec has done a great improvement in this power supply. I run a dual core 3.4Ghz Intel, with 3 Sata hard drives, two DVD burners, TV tuner, 4Gb of Ram and GForce8800 and it works great. You can't hardly hear this power supply, you have to get very close to it to hear the fan. Price is cheap for the this powerful Supply. I would recommend it to anyone who desires to build a new system. If you are building a system that will have to two video cards I would recommend the 650Watt one.      » READ MORE

Great power supply. No complaints. I have no idea why the modulars are so much more expensive, but since I wasn't willing to spend the money on them I am left with a lot of extra clutter that I don't need on my older board (no SATA, no PCI express).      » READ MORE

Bought this to put in my p182 case, with an e8400, 8800gts 512 and 2 hdds and 1 dvd. Install was easy and is much quieter than my previous power supplys. The only issue I had is one of the cords runs the height of the case and is pretty tight but that is more a problem with the case I chose rather than the power supply (as the ps is at the bottom of the case and has to go all the way to the top). Read the professional reviews to see that this is a stable, efficient and relativly quiet power supply.      » READ MORE

This power supply worked great for about a month. Then the 3.3V voltage inexplicably dropped to 2.8V. Now the computer seems to reboot itself every few minutes. Some kind of luck I have...      » READ MORE
