If anyone does have experience, may be they will be too shy to admit it :lol:

Previous threads on Thermaltake have tended to pick holes in the marketing rather than flatter the engineering. (Like this one, or here, or over here. There is more here as well as this is probably one of the earlier discussions. Try a search at the top of the screen - among all the results for ThermalTake Purepower you can probably find some kind words if you look long enough!

I'm currently running the ThermalTake Butterfly 480W. The 80x80x15 is unadjustable, so it is a bit loud for my tastes.

I used the TT 420w Purepower for 6 months. Silent Purepower my @$$. That's all I have to say. Stable rails, but silent must mean "garbage truck" to TT.
