The OEM FSP350-60GLN units that were sold in my area had a non-detachable 8-pin CPU connector -- what would you say to that! :-)

I do not think people should be too picky to select a power supply with a lot of SATA connectors. I have not yet moved to SATA. Also support for SATA optical drives in Linux is slim to none at this time.

People should select power supplies based on low ripple voltage, voltage regulation, power factor, efficiency, and noise for the desire wattage. You should state this after each power supply review, so people can get in their thick head that being cheap does not work anymore.

With the proper molex extractor, taking off and putting a 20-pin ATX connector on a power supply is not that hard. I had to improvise an AUX connector for my power supply, Seasonic S12-430, to hook up to my Abit TH7II-RAID.

Hi, I'd rather disagree with your statements that PSUs don't need any more molex connectors. I'd say, we need more of it. Why? Because SATA connector could be build off the molex (by using a molex-to-sata converter) and molex couldn't be converted to a molex connector, so for everybody's sake, let's just stay with more molex connector :). I myself have 5 PATA drives so I still need molex connector and I believe there's still many peoples out there need molex better than sata connector :).

Just my 2 cents though :).

Worst PSU review I've seen for a long time. No testing of units, no commentary on components, many of the units outmoded. Very poor.
