I ordered this item at 5.20pm on a Sunday and it was delivered before 11am on the Tuesday, via the cheery Postman Pat, which is excellent service from both supplier - it was free delivery - and Royal Mail. With screwdriver and anti-static wristband to hand, the PSU was installed within ten minutes of the postman's ring on the doorbell and it worked!



Given the noise made by my previous PSU, and which was my reason for changing it, it is like comparing the noise made by a rail diesel multiple unit with its counterpart the electric multiple unit. For those who know their DMUs and their EMUs there is a substantial difference between them when it comes to operating noise, although neither is completely silent. In recognition of the latter point, and the inclusion in the description of the said PSU of the word "silent", I have limited my award to four stars, as there is still a recognisable hum, albeit far more bearable than that which went before, and there is also an overiding whine from the new unit. Some may say "but there's always SOME noise from these units", but I have a newly purchased desktop PC which is so quiet I keep looking at the little lights to make sure that it's on! It was even quiet with the side off when I test ran it after fitting a second hard drive, so it can be done! It was this that inspired me to do something about the noise from the older model.



Hmm, thinking about noise and older models: "Hello dear, can you spare me a few minutes..."
