Cooler Master’s highly efficient [80 Plus] Silent Pro M500 shows that you do not need a massive multi-rail design to run a high end system properly. Their attention to the little details, like the rubber gaskets to help reduce vibration noise, shows Cooler Master’s commitment to quality. If you are looking to build a quiet, yet powerful system - the Silent Pro series gives a lot of reasons to be the first choice for the role.

"Without any doubt, Cooler Master did a great job with Silent Pro M500 power supply. Despite the fact that this isn't a PSU aimed at enthusiast market, there is a lot to like about it: very high efficiency, stability, modular design and a very quiet fan. Therefore, M500 is best suited for a quiet PC or a HTPC setup, if you can afford to spend extra for this PSU."

Line regulation on the Silent Pro M is superb, operation is quiet, it is modular, and it looks great, and comes with dampening pads. As a whole package, Cooler Master has done well. Even the components inside are of excellent quality! My only concern, albeit for the most part trivial is the usage of a sleeve bearing fan. Unlike CPU coolers or case fans, power supply fans are usually not replaceable by your typical user due to dangers involved with the electrical components, or at the very continuity of warranty. Given the nature of sleeve bearing fans and their relatively short life span, use in power supplies is perhaps not the best choice. Still though, the fan serves as advertised, it is down right quiet and does a great job cooling the unit. But, with Cooler Master's 5 year warranty, I hardly doubt the fan is enough of an issue to undermine the unit.
