Conclusion
The Thermaltake SMART series of power supplies are one to be considered for beginning builders. There’s not much too them, they’re easy to use, and you don’t have to mess around with them at a later date. They’re available in several wattages, which should be sufficient for the average person. They aren’t really meant to “wow” you, but rather get you what you need in terms of power.
The 430W can be found for $61.99 and the 730W can be found for $99.99 at my favorite online retailer. These prices aren’t outrageous, but they also aren’t the cheapest for their respective wattage. ThinkComputers would like to award the Thermaltake SMART Series Power Supplies an 8 out of 10 score.
Pros:
- Efficient
- Easy to use
- Compact
Cons:
- 12V rails have above normal ripples
