Sunbeam PSU-BKS580-US 580 W ATX Power Supply
Sunbeam PSU-BKS580-US 580 W ATX Power Supply

Pros: Very low price Good amount of power output Quiet

Cons: Faulty soldering

Overall Review: I had this thing for about 2 days before it malfunctioned overnight and stopped working. I noticed the power switch was off, and as I tried to turn it back on, I could see electricity was arcing from something inside the unit. I took it apart (do NOT do this unless you know what you are doing, the capacitors inside any power supply store enough electricity to kill you without it being plugged in) to find that the soldering holding one of the wires to the switch had broken loose. Luckily, it didn't cause any damage to the power supply itself and I was able to replace the broken switch and it has been working ever since. I can't say that it will last much longer, though, if the poor soldering is any indication of the quality of the rest of the unit.
