    Yuppers.

    BTW, you can tell a "good quality" PSU if the box weighs more than the damn wiring harness.

    You think I'm kidding, but I'm not.

    Or you could just click here.

    When a friend was upgrading his psu I went with him to help. I asked the clerk if we could feel them . He just gave me this big shitting grin ! I like this site to help new people understand psu's . I know its not rocket science but gives them a better idea.
