The new System Power S7 series consists of seven models ranging from 300 Watts up to 700 Watts and is therefore perfectly suited for the needs of all professional PC system integrators (SIs) whether it's a high-end workstation or a low price entry level system. The S7 series now offers both improved power efficiency with the 80 PLUS Silver certification on most models and more stable voltages thanks to new Active Clamp topology.

Additionally the German company has included the up-to-date safety and regulatory standards you'd expect to find in a state-of-the-art power supply. The custom 120 millimeter is in keeping with the be quiet! name and makes the PSU whisper quiet; another advantage for SIs.

The problem with BeQuiet! Is that they dont promote themselves enough in Europe (and possibly worldwide) BeQuiet! products are available here in the UK, but normally in very very very limited stock and its as such there are 3-4 Corsair PSU units to every 1 BeQuiet! PSU which means BeQuiet doesnt even get a look.

BeQuiet! make some solid products. They could even be a cure for cancer for all people care when turn them on but nobody gives a f**k because they aint widely stocked.

We even have a BeQuiet! rep at TPU but he doesnt post nor does any member of TPU post in his section because probably less then 2% of TPU population have any products from BeQuiet!

Of course Id like to break the corsair mold and go with another company when it comes to building a new pc or replacing my PSU. but Enermax, Corsair, OCZ, Thermaltake and Antec steal all the limelight. Hell....people know of XFX PSUs more the BeQuiet! and XFX havent been in the PSU business for very long at all.

I think they're doing better in the UK. Scan, Ebuyer, Aria, Kikatek and KustomPC all carry their PSUs, while their fans seem to be available from even more places. Personally, I plan on getting a Dark Power Pro 550w for my new build.

They certainly need more presence in the US, though (deservedly).
