Sunbeam PSU-BKS-480-US 480W ATX12V Power Supply - OEM

Pros: Low price

Cons: Low life expectancy

Other Thoughts: Died in little over a year. Just outside the warranty period, of course.

Pros: Cheap, been running in my computer great for almost a year, runs my ddr3 2gb and ddr5 512mb graphics cards at full performance

Cons: Havent had any

Pros: Hard to say since it emitted smoke and sparks the first time I used it.

Cons: It nearly caught fire on first use.

Other Thoughts: It looks like it's discontinued anyhow, but, yeah, can't really recommend this one.

Pros: Cheap! Runs my new video card! External analog power switch. Um... it supplies power to my components. Didn't blow up when I turned it on...

Cons: Almost didn't fit. The bezel around the power connector sticks out and hits the side of my dell optiplex case. I had to install in upsidedown to make it fit. Only one HDD plug.

Other Thoughts: This is the first power supply I have ever had to buy. Next time I will look at the pictures more closely to make sure I get something that matches my current set-up exactly. If the cord plug was just turned 90 degrees it would have fit perfectly.

Pros: The only pro with this item is that it costs very little.

Cons: There are many: it is loud, very cheaply made, and can be fatal to your system.

Other Thoughts: I purchased this only because it was inexpensive. I knew the risk and installed it with a five year old motherboard just for kicks. I turned it on, and now the motherboard is fried, and the PC3200 ram I also bought for $20 has no place to go. It wasn't much money, but I should have known better.

Pros: Cheap!

Cons: Cheap!

Other Thoughts: Low in price and quality. 1 yr warrenty and mine died 10 days after the 1 year mark. Well played Sunbeam. Well played indeed.

Pros: cheap

Cons: cheap. went out in under 5 months

Pros: It's black. It has a fan. It comes with a 20+4 pin ATX12V power connector.

Cons: Not at all reliable. After unpacking mine I ran it on an open-air test bed and it lasted SEVEN MINUTES before deciding to blow and never power anything again. PSU tester says it was completely fried.

Other Thoughts: I unpacked it well after the return period was up. Not worth the RMA anyway. All I needed was a cheap PSU that worked reasonably well. I certainly got a cheap PSU...

Pros: This is a VERY cheap PSU. Extremely lightweight--allows for easy transporting of your computer. Great if you want to just have a computer to surf the web or watch videos.

Cons: Don't let the price tag fool you. This sucker may be cheap, but don't expect to get the optimal performance with this guy. My experience with this PSU has been a terrible one. It caused me a lot of blue screens and its stock fan is extremely loud. If you're not convinced, take a look at all the negative reviews that this PSU has received.

Other Thoughts: Do yourself a favor and invest an extra $50-$100 for a well-known, decent power supply. I don't think you would want to risk losing hundreds of dollars on a rig that you installed with a terrible PSU that has the possibility of blowing up and destroying your rig. The price tag is way too good to be true.

Pros: It's a 480W for 16$! Come on now, can't get any better then that :D(a 600W for this price actually would :P).

Cons: It's a lil loud, but that's cuz the fan is fast! This PSU is darn cool, the airflow from this things amazing. So if you hate noise then that's the con.
