Did I just F*** up???

I ordered this PSU and a matching case (the case is AWESOME) and have seen a bunch of people say the PSUs suck, but have seen elsewhere people say they're fine. If they do suck, what's the knock on them?

in general, if it looks "cool", and its not the most expensive you've ver seen, its all show and no go. Maybe decent for a weaker stock system, but try to OC and its gonna fall short on performance.

I have to agree with Como on this. I have seen these up close. They look really cool close up. If a bit cheap. However when under a load the +12V rail heads for the basement. A friend of mine has one. Idle 11.9 Load 11.6 to 11.5

They're right - poor design, poorly chosen components, bad reputation.

Well, I'll send it back if it's no good. I'm working off of a no-name 350 watt PSU right now and I'm overclocked pretty well..

dunno, search around the net for some powmax horror stories, the PSU is the most important component imo, so quality parts is a must, like setential said these psu's have cheapest of the cheap parts, i for one would never put one of those in my pc
