_______________
At the time of this review the Everest series consists of no less than 11 products, with their power output ranging from a modest 400W all the way up to 1010W. FSP is also the only company who has two products of the same series sharing the exact same power output and base design, but of different electrical efficiency. For example the company also offers an 85Plus (80Plus Bronze) version of all Everest units with an output between 500W and 800W. The Everest 400W is only available as an 80Plus version.

The one thing that is a bit misleading about this product is that they claim "High Efficiency >85%" which doesn't seem to add up to me from the test. In any case it seems like a nice PSU but for the price I think I'd look elsewhere.

ouch , I think it is very silly to have a 400 watt power supply for more than 100$ when I can buy a good 650 watt one for less.

Yeah some how I can't help but think that seeing as this power source is pretty "run of the mill" that the price needs to drop.
