New Nexus Value 430W (better than their high end units?)

Looks somewhat promising:
1. Quieter than NX-40x0 by Nexus' measurements.
2. Smaller than typical ATX PSU. Light weight?

Even though the unit is a "value" model, Nexus products tend to be a bit expensive here in Canada. I'd pay up to $60 for it.

great for smaller cases, 12cm fan, 80% efficiency- i'd buy one.

it's the only model in their value series- one can hope they release some lower wattage ones.

Modular *not really, my bad*
Sleeved cables
2xPEG connectors

How is this a "value" PSU again?

Though a PSU that short is prone to heating a lot, no? Therefore it might not be as quiet? Unless it really is super efficient.

Well, it's not painted.

Righto! Oh and it's shorter too. We all know all high-end components are huge!

No... I must've made some confusion with the other PSUs.

Their webpage says this about it:

But then there's nothing about modular cables in the description.
