Conclusion

With the Akasa coming in at £10 more expensive than the Antec, you can see where the money was spent. A little better paint job, a larger fan and sleeved cables. The Antec feels and looks like a cut down model in comparison. That said, who stares at the power supply when they can have an SLI setup that these are capable of handling?

Not only does this power supply pack a punch in regards to energy, but its efficiency should drive down the overal cost of ownership. Good to the environment, good to your wallet.

The Antec is a perfectly good unit that provides you with stable rails and adequate connectivity (although I’m missing that FDD plug). If you have an extra tenner lying around, grab the Akasa. A cool black paint job, performs marginally better, sleeved cables and quick-release plugs cement this as the winner out of two top-class power supplies.

I'd like to thank Akasa for providing us with the power supply.
