This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Bought it on Black Friday for $20ish after MIR. Replaced a 300w PSU to power an HD4850. Worked fine for 2 months or so, no problems, quiet, nice black finish to go with darker cases.
Cons: 2-3 months later, upgrading to my own built PC, can't handle an i7 rig at stock. Checked the PSU closer to realize that this PSU will only really run at 350-400watts rather than 500w. I had to remove half my fans, 2/3 of my RAM just to boot up.
Other Thoughts: Specs: i7-920 (stock 2.67ghz) with CM Hyper 212+ cooler GA-EX58-UD3R 6gb Corsair XMS3 DDR3-1333 ram 640gb WD Caviar Black hdd XFX HD4850 4 120mm Case fans, 1 140(?)mm fan Wireless PCI card CM 500w "e'X'treme" PSU Antec 300 case
