Snny and Peat,
While that calculator may be (semi) useful, the problem is that there is no standard for determining the output of PSUs.
Basically, a manufacturer can claim anything they want.
A good test is simply to pick up the PSU...the heavier the better.
I don't think it's possible (awaiting the flames) to buy a decent unit for under $75 anymore.

I' pay a little more attention to PSU 's now when freinds ask about a system. That Slaco site I metioned , I'v sent 20 people from freinds to work mates to him. At first three had power supply problems . After that I questioned him on his choice of case's and psu 's . Now when he sees me I ask for a better brand of psu and another case fan. Even tho they bought new and it's under warranty they called me and bitched ! :lol:
bump it up
so no beeps?
maybe the memory got fried rice?
That's why I also recommended specific brands.Quote:

Well, at least they come close. :unsure:
And I still wouldn't get something without having looked at a couple of reviews as well. I think I posted this one a while ago regarding relatively cheap PSUs.
Jeantech looks good. :unsure:
