ALIVE and well after 5 months, never a problem even after many kaBoom's benching, comes back like a champ. Great PSU has long cables so no extensions should be needed but there are a lot of cables so if you don't have a lot of components to connect or you will have a hard time hiding them this would possible not be the PSU for you. Even with the HAF 932 I really couldn't hide them properly. As someone had already said and my first impression on the product was MADUSA!!!
