We have reviewed numerous cases from Antec in the past and have always been impressed by the workmanship and overall quality and the fit and finish of each of these products. When it comes to power supplies we can also say that we have seen our share of Antec power supplies and as any computer user knows that has been involved in the hobby or uses computer purely for business purposes that Antec makes some of the best power supplies on the market today.
Today we are going to be reviewing the TruePower Quattro 1000-watt power supply. The Quattro is designed to meet the 80PLUS certification which means that it consumes about 33% less energy than equivalent power supplies. Four 12V rails increase your system stability. The TruePower Quattro comes with four PCI-E connectors for powering one (or even two) of the newest generation of video cards. All modular cables are sleeved and labeled to give your system a clean and professional look while the racing stripe paint job adds extra style.
