Bottom Line:
This power supply does what it's supposed to do although it's a shame it's not more efficient. All and all, it's a really nice unit. And at $150 it is expensive, but delivers on performance and minimal noise.

ePower/PCMCIS Fanless 450 LION
ePower Technologies is an importer of Topower
power supplies, as well as cases and accessories. PCMCIS gets credited
in the title of this review because they've slapped their sticker all over
the product and product packaging. PCMCIS is a distributor
for ePower product. A
point of contact for VAR's, if you will. According to ePower's
website, product is also available from MA*Labs and Amax, but it seems that
the largest
selection of product is in fact available from PCMCIS, probably because the
ePower brand is pretty much all they sell.
This is a review of the Fanless 450 LION. Although this power supply
may prove to be quite the "lion," it's hardly fanless. But
I think the term is used loosely as anyone can see the 80MM fan at one end
of the power supply. One would certainly think the power supply is
fanless when one plugs it in and turns it on. The fan doesn't spin! And
quite honestly, neither does any of the fans hooked up to the fan controllers
either! The only noise coming from the PC comes from the hard drives
and the CPU fan (if applicable.) Not bad.
