A little worried, but should be fine

LOGISYS Computer PS480D-BK 480 W ATX12V Power Supply
LOGISYS Computer PS480D-BK 480 W ATX12V Power Supply

Pros: Great looking, 480 PEAK, 300W consistant, excellent wiring, has everything I could ask for and the price is fantastic!

Cons: Feels like a cheap power supply, only 300W consistant.

Overall Review: I have just recieved this power supply, and to be honest by the other reviews I am a little worried. Seems to me that this power supply is a mis-represented unit. It does only have 300W, but peaks at 480. I'm not exceptionally worried though, because my OEM one that came with my computer was a 300W as well, and peaked at 350. It lasted me well over 4.5 years. My advice is to buy this WITHOUT the need for huge power demands. Make sure that it is in target with what all your parts are running with, and you should be fine. DO NOT try to run a top of the line computer with this, and DO NOT overclock with this. This is a bottom level, low end power supply, and you should not try to achieve huge goals with it. Simply, install, and leave it where it sits. I suggest monitoring the fan, and even installing another fan if you can. It does seem to run a little hot under a heavy load, but in all honesty, what doesn't? Treat it just like any other part, and everything should be alright.

Good case

Pros: For the price this costs this is a great case. I had no problems with hookups and the case is big enough to work freely in the without cutting or scraping yourself. Has plenty of space to hook up drives, and the back panel has to s of room for cards and etc.

Cons: Some of the peel away guards are frustrating at times. Had issues with spacing die to power supply wiring. It was too short in between power plugs to reach CD drive and hard drives.

Overall Review: If your looking to replace an old case, or need something for no money at all, I recommend this case. Has plenty of air ports, and plenty of room.
