^ Untrue, there are merely several complaints because it sold in very high numbers because it was such a great deal. Neither of the two systems I have running one make whining noise, nor do most of the (4/5 egg average) Newegg reviewers mention it.

$35 AR/coupon OCZ ModXStream Modular 500W exp 02/06/12,

or the $17 AR/coupon Corsair Builder 430W deal which ends tomorrow.

Corsair Builder is a POS. Most everyone out there on all types of forums complain about a horrible whine when powered down. Fact.
