Cooler Master, one of the best computer case manufacturers on the planet, has a new line of power supplies called the Silent Pro M. Although not yet available in the United States, the Silent M series is designed to meet the demands of the low to mid price range computer market. As a single rail power supply, the Silent M really isn't designed to meet today's high end system requirements. Instead, Cooler Master has targeted owners who want a high quality power supply, but don't have a need for those spare no expense, gaming power supplies that you can jump start your SUV with.

One of the new features you will see with the new Cooler Master Silent M series is the all new flat modular cable design, which appears to be the reason why the Silent M hasn't his the United States just yet. It appears that someone has already patented this design so we have to wait for the patent permissions to be worked out before the unit can be sold in the USA. Pesky patent office...  Anyway, while the lawyers make the big bucks, let's take a look at the Cooler Master Silent M 500w unit to see if it's a welcome addition to your next mid tower build.
