What I expected

Rosewill R218-P-BK-450W MicroATX Mid Tower Computer Case, come with 1x 120mm Fan, 450W Power Supply

Pros: Low cost power supply does the job

Cons: Case is not so great - the front panel for audio and USB is near impossible to flip down. The structs supporting the expansion slots bent pretty easily when installing a video card. LED is a little bright

Overall Review: Not sure on the quality of the power supply, but with respect to output it should be sufficient for most lower-end computers. I have a 7200RPM HDD, EVGA SSC GTX 650 Ti, Pentium G860 on an Asus H61 board with 8GB RAM and everything is stable fully loaded. The sticker on the unit says: 3.3V@22A, 5V@20A -- 140W 12V1@15A, 12V2@15A -- 320W -12V@0.3A -- 3.6W 5VSB@2.5A -- 12.5W for a total 450W. I emailed tech support, who told me that the 12V rails were divided as follows: 1. CPU power and 20-pin motherboard on the first rail 2. HDD and PCI-e on the second one. --- At a discounted price this is ok (mine was part of a combo deal), but at $50 I'd rather spend a little extra to get a better quality case and a more trustworthy power supply.
