Apevia RAPTOR500W Raptor 500W ATX Power Supply with 120MM Black Fan

Bottom line: The Apevia RAPTOR500W Raptor 500W ATX Power Supply with 120MM Black Fan: +12V rail delivers 36A, enough headroom for a single 6+2-pin PCI-E card; main trade-off: only 3 SATA and 3 Molex leads limit multi-drive retro builds.

Cons

Apevia's power supplies & cables lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.
