To that end, manufacturers have responded to increased demand of quality power supplies for enlightened consumers. As with most products, the power supply market is increasingly competitve, and there are countless choices available. But not all units are created equal, and finding one that provides stable power, runs quietly, looks good, and offers good value for your hard-earned dollar.......now that is a challenge.

This brings us to our topic of today and a power supply we'll be examining. The Kingwin 1220W Mach 1 is a unit that's marketed for enthusiasts (particularly gamers), has a price tag to beat several top name-brand competitors, and sports some nice features including pin-coded modular cabling and LED lighting. Certainly looks promising, so let's get down to business and juice up this unit.

Thanks go to our friends at Kingwin for supplying the review sample.
