Full disclosure: This power supply was a tad bigger than I was expecting, but that's my fault for trying to cram it into a Dell XPS 8700 micro ATX case. It fit (very tightly, with a little bit of force to get it inside the OEM tower's power supply restraint), but after it was in it was whisper quiet (I literally never hear the fan of my computer come on anymore, for any reason since I installed this, and yes, it is running). It is a modular power supply, meaning that you only connect the cords you need to free up air movement in your case, and the cable modules seem to be long enough to comfortably fit an ATX motherboard (mine is not, so I'm just estimating) with a little left over for cable management. My hardware doesn't exactly push the limits of this PSU's capabilities, but always buy more than you need for the future, eh? Time will tell how well it holds up, but the brand is known for quality and right now I highly recommended it.
