which psu should i keep?

[hainer36]

i have a X-Connect 500W (black) psu coming in and a Aspire 550W chameleon psu coming in as well, both should be here about same time, now for my system in sig, (add 4 120mm fans, 4 ccfl's, a raptor...soon to be here, and 3 or 4 80mm fans) should i just use the two psu's or keep one or the other???

sell them both and both and get a real psu. With those two you are just asking for trouble. The new X-Connects have been known to fail terribly under load

^ agrees. i wouldnt trust xconnect if my life depended on it.

its not a new x-connect, its the older one (i got it in a trade) very stable version, and why is the aspire bad? the rails are great and the reviews are pretty good

[dicecca112]

because Fortron and OCZ and Antec are tried and true, Aspire is not and for the cost of two psus, you could have bought one good one

please, i didnt even pay, i traded for em, 2 digital cameras ($50 worth each) for 2 psu's that sell for over $70

I'd keep the X-Connect and get rid of the Aspire. Aspire's are mostly bling and not enough zing. Decent for a lower to mid power system but not for a high end system.
