Hey All..

I have the following generic PSU I was planning on using for my friend, Linky (http://www.saveunet.com/look/197.html), who wants the current rig:

AMD64 3500+ (Socket 939)
Abit AV8 Mobo
1GB DDR500 (twin sticks)
X800 Pro GPU
1 SATA HDD
1 DVD
1 Floppy
Numerous Case Fans

But, I am kinda worried that this is a no-name brand. The specs look good, especially on the 5V rail, but the 12V is what bugs me.

Any thoughts?

That is one helk of a good system! :drool:

IMO using a cheapo PSU with those components would just be wrong :eek:

Convince your friend to get at least a 350w Fortron (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-104-966&depa=0). Hes gotta be spending a lot to get those other components, not dropping another $50 for a solid PSU is just going to be bad for the rest of the system in the long run.
