Antec´s TrueControl is aimed at the enthusiast and overclockers out there; we take it for a spin on an overclocked Athlon 64 and Prescott system to see how it does. Read on to find out more about this great power supply

Awesome power supply. But the fell short in the cosmetics of the True Control panel. Rough textured silver??? Not aluminum or biege to match cases on the market. I recently purchased an Antec aluminum P160 case and True Control 550 power supply. The 5 1/4 slide in silver (painted) control panel sticks out like a sore thumb on the front of my sharp aluminum case. I think the could have made a better choice for finishes on it.

How long is the lifetime of this powersupply?

I now have an antec truepower 430.
But it's dying.
My +5volt line is getting lower every day. (today 4.5)
In the morning my pc refuses several times to boot.
I bought this one in january 2003.

So i'm lookin for a replacement.
