Another Superflower unit with great regulation and excellent ripple results. They just seem to keep cranking them out these days.

I guess this PSU and Kingwin Absolute Platinum are based on the same platform?

Kingwin is available for $120 at Newegg, which is just $10 more than Antec EA-550. Very good deal

anything about the noise it generates?
I gues it shoulnd't be that bad considering the great efficiency.
I'm about to replace my Enermax to something more efficient, would this be a great alternative it it ever reaches Europe?

These guys are commonly sold in the EU and some of the quietest units in the market due to the extended fanless operation and generally good quality fan included.

this means I am encouraged to replace my old Enermax with this unit?
I was looking around in Hungary and couldn't find any of these babies tough.

Well, at least here in Germany, the guys in the forums don't like Super Flower at all...
There was a guy from them in the forums who started to insult the community and acted like a bull in a china shop. It ended that this person was banned for life in one major german forum...
