Looks more durable than it is.
Case seems well built, and the cables seem adequate. Right after installing it in my HP S5-1214 slimline, it booted up fine and SEEMED to run normal.About 5 minutes later... the power cycling / rebooting started.This happened during a Windows Update so obviously I assumed the reboot was due to the updates. It failed the update and corrupted the disk.UEFI would bring up the Windows boot load manager, but it wouldn't recognize my C: as a bootable Windows install anymore. I restored the drive from a backup, and it seemed to be fixed... and then the reboots happened again, and again.The power supply wasn't holding voltage. Finally, I realized what was going on and pulled this fancy 500W PSU back out and installed the old 350W supply that's been running for years without problems other than a noisy fan. Everything is fine.I ordered a Noctua 40mmx40mm-20mm fan to fix the noisy one in my old PSU, though the GPU upgrade will have to wait until I can find the disposable cash, and patience, to try this again with an American or Japanese made PSU.In typical communist fashion, the Quality Control on this unit is terrible.I read the reviews and saw mixed results, so it's possible I just received a factory lemon... but if you don't have time or technical background to diagnose a faulty PSU, pass on this company and spend the money on a Corsair or some other acceptable brand. :/UPDATE: I gave them a second chance, and just asked for a replacement unit. SAME PROBLEM. The voltage drops under load... which the factory 240W HP unit (204W on 12v rail) and the 350W unit I was using, had no problems with. This unit NOT ONLY can't support the draw it says it can, it ALSO seems to spike voltage to uncontrolled levels when it cycles back up. How do I know? Because my new $2000 laptop was plugged into the same wall outlet as this garbage PSU and when the tower power started power cycling, the laptop errored out, crashed, and would NOT reboot without unplugging from the shared wall outlet/circuit and hard-resetting with as long power press/hold. I managed to get the laptop up and running fine AFTER unplugging it from the shared circuit.DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. PSU IS UNSAFE, not ONLY for your computer it's powering, but ALSO ANYTHING on the same circuit it's plugged into. I got lucky there wasn't permanent damage... you may not be so lucky. This PSU DESIGN is horrible, and the QC is obviously non-existent. Save your money... buy a MORE expensive PSU from a reputable manufacturer.

Very nice computer power supply!
I saw this power supply and could not believe the price so I immediately had to get it! I did not know what to expect, but I am so happy that I jumped at the chance to get such a great deal because this is such a very nice power supply for my pc! It is definitely 110 to 220 volts and includes the motherboard as well! It is fully modular and it seriously made wiring this to my PC such an easier task than other power supplies that I have had! After getting everything installed my PC was running super smoothly and everything is working 100% as it should! It is as described in the ad and has everything that is supposed to! This is a great bang for your buck don't miss out on this one! Got to give it 10 out of 10

Poorly made device. Don’t waste your time.
I tried two units. Both overheat incredibly quick. The unit is warm when not in use. Can’t even sustain 1/3rd the rated load without thermal protection kicking in. Grabbed a more premium unit not a single issue now.The fan is also really loud. The only thing nice about the unit is the body is fairly nice
