Does anyone here have any experience with CompUSA's power supplies? I just bought a case
http://www.a-top.com/900/900.html
that happens to be big enough for my needs with a slide out mobo tray, and it came with a cheapo 300W PSU (which was offered SEPARATE from the case, I might add. I couldn't buy the case without it.). This PSU has no manufacturer label and is as light as a feather. I wouldn't trust it to crush an ant with. I was planning to get a better PSU anyway, and I happened over to my local CompUSA and found they sell a 500W PSU for $80. It is branded with CompUSA labeling all over the thing, so I don't know who (if anyone) makes it for them. I like the idea of it being a retail store item, because I probably can get a salesperson to let me plug it in and test it with a multimeter before I buy and if I have any problems later, it shouldn't be too hard to get it replaced/refund.
If any of you have some thoughts or input, I'd appreciate it!
TIA
