Pros:

Clean stable power delivery, 1000 watts, Ultra quiet operation, Three position LED lighting switch, Overall compact size, Modular cables, Adequate cable length and number of varying connectors, Variable speed cooling fan with automatic temperature sensor.
Better modular connectors than the Mach 1 had, decent ripple and noise suppression, excellent voltage regulation.

Cons:

Slightly lower efficiency than we would expect from an 80Plus Bronze unit, Only a 3year warranty
No EZGrip Molex connector

The Kingwin Lazer Series LZ-1000 PSU with Crystal Cube modular cable management delivered good voltage regulation (especially on the important +12V rails) with relatively clean outputs and good efficiency. The LZ-1000 PSU is very quiet at low to...
