Conclusions:

The PC Power and Cooling 510 Deluxe is a very nice power supply with plenty of features. The addition of the on/off switch, serial ATA power cables, and the wrapped tubing is just the icing on the cake. The performance of the unit is what one would expect for $230, well for almost anyone. We have tested quite a few power supplies in the past and PC Power and Cooling has always been one of the top performers.

The main issue with most consumers is going to be the price, which is going to depend on the buyer. If you have the money to shell out and want the best, then we can highly recommend this power supply. Keep in mind that the 510 Deluxe is backed with a 5 year warranty and a 30 day money back guarantee including freight. Most of the PSU's that we review do not come with warranties much over a year. Just think of it as a long term investment.

For users who are not that picky about power supplies, then you might want to look into a different model or brand. We always like to say that the PSU is one of the most overlooked components in a system, but also one of the most important, especially for overclockers and people who need a reliable system 24/7(servers).

The Good:

• Excellent power
• Adjustable potentiometers for 3.3V, 5V, 12V
• Wrapped cables
• 5yr warranty
• serial ATA connectors

The Bad:

• $230

Overall: 9.5/10
