With dozens of
Power Supply companies to choose from these days, it's hard to make the
right decision. However, there is still a few companies out there that
you can choose by brand name only and be guaranteed that you made the
right choice. One of those companies is Enermax. Enermax has been around
for many years and just about every computer I have ever built for
personal or family use have used Enermax power supplies. They are well
known throughout the world as being one of the finest power supplies
money can buy. Make no mistake, Enermax has earned that reputation.
Today we have a
very sweet 500 watt power supply given to us by
Cooler Giant, a
division of Enermax.
The PSU we have in hand is a very clean looking, glossy black box with
the so much appreciated removable cables. Removable cables on PSUs have
been around for a couple years, but it makes you wonder why companies
took so long to catch on to the idea. With removable cables, you only
need to use the cables you really need. The rest you unplug and toss
into your junk box. No more unsightly cables zip tied to the inside of
your case. Power Supplies like this are an absolute must for those who
enjoy modified cases that are built to impress.
The Enermax Liberty
comes in 3 versions, the 400w, the 620w and the 500w, which we have here
today.
