Most Favorable Review

Good fo da Money

Rosewill RP550-2 550W ATX12V v2.01     Power Supply
Rosewill RP550-2 550W ATX12V v2.01 Power Supply

Pros: Cheap, Glows, and has worked fine so far for me

Cons: It isn't the most stable PSU out there, I have my CPU volts set on the mobo (old ASUS P5rd1-v OCed but still good) to 1.435 but I see it occasionally flutter anywhere from 1.38 to 1.47 depending on load

Overall Review: For the money you can't expect the most high-end 550w psu but my rig isnt too extreme so it works fine, very high-end setups will probably want something better

Most Critical Review

Don't buy it

ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Pros: Worked for about a year

Cons: This thing crapped the bed after about a year. My system randomly freezes and BSOD on me. I have swapped out memory and vid card with known working spares I have. Reinstalled windows vanilla and it still is freezing. Ascertaining a mobo problem is not very easy but I have tried it with every hardware and software combo I can think of and eventual the system craps out on this board every time.

Overall Review: Lame

MemTest Erros

CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB 240-Pin PC RAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10

Pros: Worked great for little over a year. Got it super cheap with a ASUS mobo bundle purchase

Cons: My system started randomly crashing. Ran Memtest of bootup and it is throwing a bunch of errors

Overall Review: for the $40 or whatever I ended up getting it for a year is not terrible but should have been better

Not too shabby

Antec SmartPower 2.0 SP-400 400 W ATX12V Power Supply
Antec SmartPower 2.0 SP-400 400 W ATX12V Power Supply

Pros: Has worked for over a year with minimal problems.....powered my system with a 6800gt for almost a year (which requires a min. 450w supply). Have it working in a spare machine now

Cons: Chassis fan died on me about a month or two ago....I was swapping it in and out of machines so I don't know if I banged it up that way but I don't think so

Overall Review: For a 400w supply this thing powers very well and delivers stable V's. If the one fan hadn't died on me 5 stars all the way, but that may have been my fault.....
