To anybody who might know, I won an In Win Commander 850 at tonight's lan party. They're valued at 200$ on newegg, so in theory it should be a good PSU. All reviews I've read say good except the newegg product reviews, saying they crapped out way too quickly.
My friend has a computer with two PSU's, and I'm fairly confident a single 850 watt PSU worth it's salt can handle his rig. He's got about 4 hdd's, 2 cores, and a raid card on top of my rig. So that's the only real extra power draw. Should this PSU in theory run his rig, and should I trust this PSU enoguh to trade him for the UD3P he won (so I can rma the one I bought for refund so essentially my PC would be free) and a thermaltake lanbox he also won...
What do you guys think? Is it good enough that I can trust giving it to him? I let him know that the egg reviews concerned me. But all the reviewers seemed to like the PSU. I'm not trying to shiest him at all... best friend and what not. So I want to make sure that if it DOES work for him, that I'm not screwing him with a ****ty product.
