FSP HEXA 400/500W is very good spec on the paper & "drooling" 
with it's current offer/selling price. Saw a lot recommend them in this topic.
But IMO, after building some rig for my customer, I notice few flaws on this model. I guess that's justified the price / product offered. Not to "boikot" them but only want to express my opinion and any HEXA 400/500W user ca nshare your view too
1. 4+4pin cable for motherboard is shorter than other brand PSU, it's impossible to route from the back of the motherboard for neat cable management. Try on the CM Elite 430, Thermaltake V3 & Aerocool VS-9, all phailed
2. Cable is not nicely sleeved, make it look like cheapo PSU. And not all cable is sleeved
3. And this PSU kinda light, again make it feel "kinda cheapo" or "cap ayam". It's lot lighter than other model like Seasonic, CM, SST, Corsair or Acbel @ 500W range models. Normally good PSU you can feel it's weight as good quality parts ect it's transformer, the heavier the better. The terms is like gold, "lagi berat, lagi best". It's more like the build "feel" solid and "ada UMPH!"
~ correct me if I'm wrong, maybe new technology from FSP in PSU can produce good quality PSU with light stuff
4. Power cable NOT included in package
For system builder and personal preference, my 1st choice will be Corsair CX500, 2nd will be Seasonic SP 500W & 3rd will be SST ST50F-ES if ya all looking for solid 500W PSU in term of quality, features, build & price/performance. All 3 models price range RM199-RM225 if you survey around garage sale or lowyat plaza
Suppose Seasonic S12II-520W will be my all time favorite/recommendation but as u guys know, this PSU is not avaialble in our market anymore
1. Yeap, too short.. even reaching to the pin is just nice, do not mention about re-routing for cable management. with it's current offer/selling price.

2. only the 20+4 is sleeved.
3. I tried weighting the hexa 500w and Strider 500, it is just a bit lighter.
4. Mine has cable provided in the package.

what we want is the quality and how this PSU can support a system without fail, not some outer stuff.
how about SeaSonic X560 560W 80Plus Gold its only RM350!! seems to be a good deal...
