A big power supply but not too noisy
Not so long ago 1,000W power supply units (PSUs) were for serious high-end systems only. Now they are commonplace and Akasa is the latest company to join the gang with the Powermax 1000 which, unlike some of the large output PSUs, is a little larger than a typical ATX supply. Thanks to the single 135mm dual-ball bearing fan it's also quiet and has two +12V rails. If you have a large tower case, you'll be impressed by the extra-long (75cm) cables, all of which are fully sleeved. As you might expect from a high-end supply, a variety of power connectors are included. At this price, it also represents good value for money.
