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. That said, who stares at the power supply when they can have an SLI setup that these are capable of handling?

Not only do they pack a punch in regards to energy, but their 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 Antec for providing us with the power supply.
