Just looking for a new power supply. My current Rosewill is doing fine, but you all have me convinced it's gonna go soon, so I took a look at a list of recommended PSU's in one of the above stickies and found this one. The fact that it is only $60 makes me wonder, but the one review I've read so far praised it nicely. Gonna read up more about it. Here's a link to it on newegg. Any suggestions or comments about this PSU would be appreciated :) Thanks

Welcome to the forums!

That one is OEM Andyson - much better than Rosewill. Should last you a while :)
 
Thanks :) Glad to know the PSU looks good. Gonna see if I can gather up the cash. Only 14, so I don't have a job or anything :/ Hoping to get like $200 from family in 2 weeks for my birthday, and hoping to sell the Pentium 4 I replaced for close to $100, so hopefully I'm gonna have $300 to spend on RAM and a PSU. :)
 
I've been running 7900gt's sli with that PS. It's a great bang for your buck. There's some decent reviews of that PS around. Just do some searching.
 
I have one and was VERY happy with it till I fried a CDRW and now the 120mm fan rattles

Dont mount it upside down... the fan dont like that....

After that happened (and it left my main rig until I can RMA) I dont know how I did it, because I didnt plug the wrong end into the PSU... so I can only assume that the indents so that you can only plug it in one way... was not successfull enough. That you can still plug it in enough to damage components.

Smoked my sony dru700a. My favorite DVD burner. Yes it was my fault... and after that I managed to trip over 2 svideo cables and break both of them as well... so coulda just been a bad month... (or I'm just a re-re). But be careful with it

Its great if you treat it right. The fan controller is a nice bonus even though you can only use it with the PSU....(although I have not tried removing the stock wires and pluging 2- 3 pin fans into it...)

I did this, and it works fine. It now runs the two 120mm fans for my radiator... I left the thermal sensor plugged into the heatsink feed on the PSU.

And yes, this powersupply is damned fine. Running my PrescHOTT 3.0E S478 at 4.2ghz (280FSB), my 7900GT-on-AGP card at 540/1500 and my Adata PC4200 ram at DDR560 1:1. My 12 volt rail has never been so stable and so high with 100% load.

Being inexpensive makes it even better, and being modular makes it F'ing awesome!
