Typically, Raidmax PSUs aren’t good. There are a few that have surfaced that are good, like this: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=470

 

But these arent good ones:

I am sure there’s more, but finding them on my phone is tedious. Overall, I’d avoid raidmax.

 

If you want a good looking power supply, then here are some options:

 

EVGA G3

SeaSonic FOCUS

SeaSonic PRIME

Corsair RMx

BitFenix Whisper

 

It would void your warranty, but you could replace the fans and repaint the PSU shrouds to your desire. But always get a quality PSU, because it’s the only part in your PC that can kill your PC, or in extreme measures, catch on fire.

That’s good to know. I see it on Tomshardware review, but they don’t seem to make it a big issue.
