Comment:
I have not owned this unit but a few weeks, so far no complaints. Time will tell about the quality, but for the price I just went for it. If it goes bad, I didn't loose alot.

Product works great, computer is running smoothly with no problems.

Priced right. I haven't used it so I can't review proformance but I'm sure when I need it I'll be glad I have it on hand.

DEAD ON ARRIVAL NEVER CAME ON

I bought the first one and the Peripheral connectors are such a bad quality that the metal pins of the connectors would come off the connector or do not fit well with the drive connectors almost damaged my MB when one of them would come out and do a short. Called their customer service who replaced it for me the second one worked for few month and finally quit for no reason, very cheap quality and not durable.

This unit replaced a 7 year old supply that started going bonkers (probably electrolytic capacitors going dry). Appearance was impressive, with features for newer systems that far exceeded my present need. Installation was a snap and the first turn on solved my previous problems. Noise level was far lower than the old unit (love the larger fan), and is still much better, although slightly noisier that in the first few days. Time will tell whether this is a great replacement, but for now I am very happy. Oh yeah, the price was a pleasant surprise. Delivery, as usual, was excellent!

Easy to setup but very loud.

Died after 10 months of use under normal conditions.

Worked fine out of the box.

Mine was very quit, was suprised.. works great. Only problem, SATA connectors, too close together. Works for a raid setup but if your going to hook up a HD and DVD they better be right next to each other.

Shipping was timely. Received the item in a new box, with the plastic still on. Install was quick and easy in my ATX case. Plenty of power connections. It works just fine, fired right up. No noises, and I'm very particular about noises. You can hear the whisper of the fan, but it is almost unnoticeable and certainly doesn't distract from gaming or movies. Great buy!! If I had the need for another, I'd buy this one again. (It has been installed and running now for two days.)

Used it to replace failing power supply - it's quiet, and works well, if short of a few of the bells and whistles.

I bought this psu to replace my 300w one. I really like this product so far, but it definitely has some down sides. First off, this psu is unbelievably loud, compared to my old psu. Also, the 2 SATA connectors are very close to each other (1-2 in.) so i had to buy a molex to SATA extender. Other than that, does what it is advertised o do, and for only $50.

Comment:
seem to work very well and hey $32 for 550 watts thats a good deal

I bought this February 22, 2009 today is November 06, 2009.I just installed my replacement. This went dead (6) days ago. I do not leave my computer on except when using it. What a rip off!! I would not recomend this to anyone.

When I purchased this 7 months ago, I was a bit worried because a lot of reviewers were complaining about its supposedly short life span. I was on a very limited budget and this was the best power supply I could find at the time for the best price, so I was hoping it wouldn't go out on me for a while. Here it is 7 months later, and it's still working wonderfully. That could be attributed to the low power usage of the parts I'm using in my computer, or maybe I got lucky and received one of the good ones. Whatever it was, it's been working very well for me, so that's good. I would recommend this for people who aren't planning on using extremely power-hungry parts in their system.

Replaced PS in two desktops. Its lots quieter in the computer room now; the large fans are a LOT quieter. CPUs are staying cooler too so there must be more airflow.

Comment:
My computer needed a power boost due to all of the hardware installed in it. And this power supply did the trick! After a month of being used for 8-12 hours per day, it's still running with no problems.

Comment:
Was surprised to find this power supply does not have an 8-pin cpu power cable, but my board works fine with the 4-pin cable. Haven't been using it very long, but it seems to work well and it's very quiet.

Comment:
This unit works fine running an overclocked dual core, overclocked ddr2 1066, overclocked 9600, one hd, one dvd burner, and 3 fans. Its not like i personally tested the load capacity and stability of each voltage rail, but it seems like a great deal, and works great.

I have had this in my computer for two years now. I got it so I could use a 8800 GTS and everything is still working fine. It runs fairly quiet especially when not gaming etc. No complaints.

i bought this power suppply to support the motherboard I bought which required a 24 pin ATX connector. My old power supply was a 20 pin connector. After installing new power supply realized there was no room to hook up CD & DVD cables. Old PS was 3.75" this PS id 5 1/4". Had to return.

I just updated my desktop from 300watt to this one 550watt. It can support my 9800 gtx+ vid card. So far I'm quite happy with it.

I was u[dating my wife's computer. New hard drive; motherboard with a faster C.P.U. More ram options. The old power supply was a 300 watt. I looked at this power supply and thought it was great. When I installed it, the computer didn't power up. I doubled checked my connections and still no power up. I put the old 300 watt power supply in and everything worked fine. This is the first product I bought from here that did not work. They are a great company to buy from and will help with returns and questions.

I've had this PSU in a custom build for 1.5 years, and still works great, never had a problem.
