Could be better, but not as bad as some...

[BioS]

Not bad not bad after all..

Just ordered one. We'll see how it goes.

I wonder how much that PSU weighs. About the same weight as Allied 400W+ PSU's?

[BioS]

According of most of time i ship this pc device. A PS 3 ~ 4lb.. And cheap shipping for 3~ 4lb package @ fedex ground 6 bucks.

Shipping weight isn't a good measure of real weight. I was looking for the weight of my Volcano 5 HSF (out of my old rig) and some sites said 6 lbs shipping weight! I eventually found an HSF roundup that listed the weights and it as only 312 grams (~0.69 lbs).

I contemplate the quality of any manufacturer who makes up their own words. "Extremo" ehh ?

Just so happens I need a cheap power supply and this one will do nicely :)

[ravenofBlight]

Anyone know how many amps this guy puts out on +12v??

[Soja]

Very tempting. Also 4 bucks for a 3 year warranty. Does anyone know if the bottom blowhole is availible if you do not choose the dual fan option?

[Silversinksam]

I'm a firm believer in you pay for what you get ;)


If you can't pony up the bucks for a PC Power and Cooling, this should be your second choice ($83 at Newegg and $67 below)

10 page thread (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26280&perpage=25&highlight=fortron&pagenumber=1) of nothing but praise of this PSU at Xtreme, and I respect the opinions of those guys that purchased this psu and love it.

[BioS]

I totally agree with sammy. "You pay for what you get" That's why i indicate, if you need specific power amp, you better investe more $$$ in.

I'm not a gamer, but my neighbor game 8hrs a day with his 350W generic without a complaint. So, $15 shipped to your door is not bad to try.

[Binow]

I got one because it'd be hard to be worse than the 200W or 250W I have in my gf's junk school computer.

[Spacepiston]

I bought one simply because it was so cheap and eventually a situation will come up where a friend or co-worker will need one.

Never hurts to have a second laying around the house in case of an emergency!

Exactly. I paid 100 bucks for my seasonic 400watt so I can't really afford another expensive "quality" psu.

[Binow]

Mine shipped out 3/2 and it says on the DHL tracking that it should be here 3/4. Not bad at all. 14.99 shipped. Can't beat that I don't think.

[unreal]

hmm, seems risky..did it say frfee shipping? i missedd it then i guess..

It didnt say anything about shipping when I purchased it on the site. It just said total 14.99. I was waiting to see how much they were going to charge for shipping but I guess that was included in that price :confused:

[nut581]

For $15, I don't think that you will be getting a decent PSU. But again, it may be that the seller is dumping it and the real value is higher than $15. Anyway, that is too risky for me. I just bought an AeroCool 550W Power Supply (http://iocombo.com/product/showproduct.php?productid=02XV) a few weeks ago. It costs me around $115 shipped, but I know for sure that it will lasts for good.

[Binow]

I don't doubt it will be a cheap psu. I got it to use for a folding computer anyway so if it dies there really isn't much loss.

[OKJEFF4]

You could hotwire it and 24v a 120mm fan as a CPU cooler. Think of the temps...

[Binow]

Got the PSU today. There is no way to tell the quality or anything with multi meter right?

how heavy is it? guesstimate if you must:)

EDIT: How many amps does the 12v rail put out, should say on the sticker on the side.

[Spacepiston]

Mine shipped 3/2 and is expected to arrive 3/8. I checked my bank account summary and I was charged just the $14.99, so shipping is included in the price.

Seriously..for 15 bucks shipped can you afford not to buy one? I expect it to be on the same quality level as most generics.

The sticker says:
+3.3V = 28A
+5V = 30A
+12V = *cough* 11A *cough*

I would say it weighs about as much 1 and a half 20oz bottles of water ;)

I have a few cases sitting around and needed a psu to run some kind of junk computer for my gf to get online. This is the only reason I purchased this. It's obviously not great but for $15 shipped it was exactly what I needed.

:drool::drool::drool::drool::drool:
Oooooh thats such a good idea... anyone wanna try?

[Stedeman]

The FSP/SPI 530W only has a 12V ~ 18A much better than the 11A on this one but I have found it is not enough for loaded higher end systems I just had to switch to the PC Power & Cooling myself.

[Tnick24]

might just have to pick one of these up myself

[SewerBeing]

on the website it says Compare at: $58.00. So I dont think its that bad, *proud owner of a 27 dollar psu*
