When you get it post up the UL code so we can see who makes it.

Re: Just bought the cheapest PSU Newegg sells
As long as you aren't trying to get anywhere near 480W out of that PSU then you will be fine with it.
I don't recommend this for computers that are new and worth lots though

@mat: acording to the way overestimating newegg psu calculator, this thing will only suck down about 280watts, so i think this one will be fine

I'm assuming personal server = idle most of the time. Yup, it's probably gonna last you for a while assuming it's not DOA.

Re: Just bought the cheapest PSU Newegg sells
I preach to people all the time about cheap power supplies, but with your usage it will probably last for quite a while.

Re: Just bought the cheapest PSU Newegg sells
Not bad at all, and I hate seeing ide cables.
Re: Just bought the cheapest PSU Newegg sells
Folding IDE cables to hide them is a lost art form.

Re: Just bought the cheapest PSU Newegg sells
yeah it probably is. just for the hell of it, i tried running it unloaded(<--dont do that) to check the voltages, and it actually didnt blow! i was getting like 12.25 volts on the 12v rail, but since it was unloaded im not suprised. i could probably put a better one together myself, but it be a bitch tracking down all the caps and makin the circut board. i dont think im gonna fold this thing if i want it to last more than a month. But the one thing that really bothered me about this powersupply, is the guage of the wire. they are about as thin as paper clips!

Re: Just bought the cheapest PSU Newegg sells
so does the PSU have that quality "feel" when you pick it up? You know the one... you lift the product and immediately think "Man, this is good stuff" and roll your eyes.

Re: Just bought the cheapest PSU Newegg sells
LOL yeah it had real quality feel. infact, the power cable that come with it weighed about the same as the psu no joke though, thats how crappy this thing is
