- Will this fit a standard desktop tower case?
- No. It is a 1U server supply, sized for slim rack chassis. A tower case takes a standard ATX supply, which also runs quieter.
- Is 460 W enough for a home server?
- For a single-socket board with a few drives, yes. Add many spinning drives or a power-hungry graphics card and you will want more capacity.
- Is it loud?
- 1U supplies use a small, fast fan, so expect more noise than a full-size ATX unit, especially under load.
- Does it use standard ATX12V connectors?
- It is an ATX12V supply, so it follows that standard. Check the connector count against your board and drive count before buying.
- Can I use it in a gaming PC?
- It will physically fit only 1U chassis, and 460 W leaves little room for a large GPU. A standard ATX supply is the better choice.
