I should, but that means taking this pc down again, and I don't feel like doing that

Why is there nothing about the noise it produces in this review.

The PowerStream 470W i have here is virtually silent... i did some preliminary testing using Antec Power supply tester with 25W Load and Digital Multimeter

Out of the box - Green LED
3.3V = 3.417
5V = 5.19
12V = 12.19

Lowest dial - Yellow LED
3.3V = 2.874
5V = 4.48
12V = 10.65

Highest dial - RED LED
3.3V = 3.83
5V = 5.61
12V = 13.28

Borderline Green LED (just above Yellow LED)
3.3V = 3.156
5V = 4.7
12V = 11.32

Borderline Red LED (just above Green LED)
3.3V = 3.452
5V = 5.29
12V = 12.65

Green = within -/+ 5% range
Yellow = lower than -5% range
Red = higher than +5% range

some good info, no matter what the load, the rails can all be adjusted to fit the situation

I find the Antec design to be quite okay actually.

Too much plastic alike imo and it's too dark to match aluminium cases...

PSU's sold in Europe are required to have a PFC, either passive or active.
