Excellent PSU & ProductStrengths: Gloss black exterior, Modular cables, Quiet & Stable Weakness: May be a bit large for some cases and therefore you wont be able to attach the silicone vibration damping gasket. You dont need it anyhow, since the PSU is super quiet to begin with. I purchased this power supply for my first ever build and I dont regret it. This is exactly what I wanted. I dont know how others can live without it. The modular cabling is great to avoid clutter if you dont have so many components in your rig. I am very impressed so far with this power supply and it's ease of installation. Thermaltake makes quality products and I recommend this to everyone, especially first time builders.

Thermaltake W0106RU Toughpower 700W Power Supply...Strengths: Ample power, 3 year warranty Weakness: None The Thermaltake W0106RU Toughpower 700W Power Supply w/Active PFC was installed in a new computer which has the Asus P5K3 Deluxe motherboard. It came with all the connectors needed to power the motherboard and a Sapphire X1950 Pro Video Card which requires connectors only available with newer type power supplies such as the W0106RU. The three year warranty which came with unit is a reminder that this is a quality unit. Runs quiet. Highly recommended. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Big and Beefy!Strengths: High power output Modular construction Weakness: None noted I bought this power supply to upgrade and to switch to modular construction. handles overclocking, 5 fans, and SLI with 2 8800GT's. Really looks good and cleaned up the view through my see-through case. I bought this on Black Friday at a huge discount, so do a little shopping before you jump! Did you find it helpful or unhelpful?

Thermaltake W0106RU 700W Power Supply. Relatively,...Strengths: Looks really slick and cool. Plenty of power with this 700W. Run computer smoothly without hiccups. Weakness: The power supply is bigger than a regular power supply. For those that required a 700W power supply for their computer rig, this is the power supply to get. It runs relatively quiet than other power supplies that I owned. As mentioned, it is a little bigger than other power supplies that I have came across throughout the years. It includes plenty of cables for almost all types of scenarios for optimal compatibility. Highly recommended! Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Best Powersupply out there.Strengths: Modular, silent, cables are long, effecient Weakness: None. Little pricy, but quality does cost. This unit is very stable on high loads, and keeps my computer running even with overclocking. The fan keeps it cool, and there are enough cables for all your components. Modular design is really nice to work with. The load is stable, I tested it with my voltmeter, and has been going strong so far. A great product from a reputable company.

Nice!Strengths: Nice and stable good looking Weakness: Big Nice stable good looking power supply unit. It is rather big though, and the silicone wrap wouldn't fit in my Antec 900 case, but it seems to be a very nice psu with modular cable and a nice finish to it! Quiet too!

DO NOT BUY
Strengths: Looks good ,Has all the cables you need
Weakness: 12v rail s not Stable
I am on my thrid Thermaltake ToughPower 700watt ,the spec's look good ,and it worked great for about three months ,when I first got it my 12v rail was 11.92v which was good and slowly the 12v rail would decrease ,it went to 11.84v and I started getting reboots ,Game freezes and Bsod and I notice my 12v rail was at 11.5v and when I checked it with a volt metter when I had a load on it and it was around 11.3v,I RMA it and my secound one did the same thing and now my third one is doing the same thing I am getting reboots ,game freezes and BSOD and my 12v rail with a load and a volt metter check it was at 11.3v,and I have seen reviews and I am not the only one haveing this problem.I emailed Thermaltake and they said- This issue is being looked into. Since we have to deal with
headquarters in
Taiwan, it will be a bit before some real answers come up.
