Personally I would not use the QPACK included PSU for anything but a paperweight, and it might even be too light to keep that from blowing away. It will probably work, but you never know when a generic PSU might die and take your components with it.

If you are able to afford it I'd go with something like the Antec SmartPower 2.0 500w power supply, it's modular so it's good for a cramped case like the QPACK.

The PSU is absolutly worthless. I use a Q-pack for my office rig and I could not even finish a XP install with BSOD. I bought a Rosewill 500w that just barely fit and its all good now. My mobo is an Abit IG-80...which is slated to be replaced with a nice OC'ing Asus P5LD2-VM. I actually have the board now but no DDR2 ram to pair it with.

THe Aspire PSU droopped 12v down to 11.56v. It fluctuated wildly.

I'll find the link for it.

*edit* found it....clicky here. (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=398670)

karl pell....the psu in my Qpack was so worthless that I could not finish a XP install with BSOD...thats pretty worthless if you ask me. You say the psu amps are differernt now? Maybe they changed the psu...I have had my Q-pack for few months now

any chance you could measure the area for the PSU and the area where that fan is - i am thinking cut out the back where the PSU and that Fan is and place the PSU in there

By the looks of it do you think that would be possible to fit a full sized PSU ?

I had took me awhile to find a PSU that would fit. I searched egg, monarch & zzf before I found one that would fit....the Rosewill barely does. The depth of it was just enough. It touches the back of the CD rom molex. actually it applies presure to it. I had to push it on as I screwed the 4 screws in the PSU back-plate. But it fit. :burn:

im having no problem running a 3500+ and a x800 xl plus 2 hardrives a zip drive and a dvd burner, in that case with the stock psu, i had to mod it. they covered up half of the fan with plastic. i also reversed the flow so it blows in. they 120mm was pulling air through the power supply anyway.
