Pros Seasonic made Priced well after rebate 80 plus bronze Cables are decent length
Cons Antec logo is upside down for some bottom-mount cases Chirping noise
Summary Got this for 39.99 after rebate which is a steal considering the OEM is Seasonic, which make the best Power Supplies on the market.
I'm not very sensitive to noise so it seems quiet enough for me.
Cables were more than long enough for my mid-sized Antec one. Might work ok for a smaller full-sized tower, but you may need extenders for a large full-size.
My only complaint is a small one, and it's that the Antec logo on the side of the PSU is upside down in my Antec One case. I don't have a window and I don't really care, but if your case has the PSU mounted fan down, the logo will be upside down.
Solid power supply for the price. Recommended for mid-range gaming builds with a single video card. If you're going dual, then at least a 650w/750w would be recommended.
Update: First unit had a chirping fan noise. RMA'd it and the new unit is fine. Have to dock a mark off for that.

Pros Single-rail, well built, looks nice, good value when on sale.
Cons First one had a chirpy fan and had to be RMA'ed because of that.
Summary It would rate five stars if the first one had been flawless. But I had to return it because of a chirpy fan, so I must rate it down. BeHardware.com shows that about 2.0% of HCG-520s are RMA'ed, which is high for an Antec PSU.
