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

Pros: Plenty of connectors. A fan control switch on the outside of the unit. Stable power too. Its powering two GeForce 8500s without a problem. And if i had an 8800 it would be ready for that with its pci-e connector.

Cons: this made me mad. The two sata connectors are on the same cord, and they're not that far apart. My hardrive and CD drive are too far apart for the cable to reach both of them (and my case is a mid tower, its not even full!), so i wound up having to use a molex to sata converter anyway. i mean, sure its not a big deal, but i have enough wire clutter as it is.

Overall Review: i hope you have somewhere in your case to jam all those extra wires. i chose the space where i dont have any CD drives.

Pros: the power supply arrived on time, was easy to install, the packaging was simple but effective. it's black, and i like that color, so thats good. there's not a whole lot more to say... it does it's job well and without fuss. i like it a lot and am glad i made this purchase.

Cons: not really a con that much, but... the blue LED isn't as bright as i would've liked but thats ok. i have a few case fans (with LED's) to light my system up fairly well. :)

Overall Review: it isnt a brand name PSU but for the price, i love it. it powers my P35, Pentium D 925 @ 3.65GHz, 2 gig's DDR2 @ 800 / 4-4-3-5 / 2.1 volts, 2 CD/DVD drives, a single 7200 sata2 HDD, a floppy (dont laugh -_-), a 8600 gt (no power connector), and 2 blue LED case fans quite well. overall, just buy it. it's more than enough for your system unless you're going to be running a high end system. ie. QX*** and SLI gtx's or ultras and a 6 drive raid set up. now that might take a bit too much power anyways. my first review, and my first computer build, and im glad i chose this PSU. PS. V!sta svcks, way too buggy. dont buy it. stick with XP pro, maybe dual boot with basic for your vista only games. happy choosing! ~SnowDragon*

Pros: This PSU is comparable to many other brand names but cheaper and possibly better. I helped a friend build his PC with this PSU and now I bought one because it worked so well for him! The 12v rails stay within 5% under load and the PSU has great airflow. As for aesthetics the finish on this PSU rivals the i-pod. Its beautiful and when you pull it out of its package you can see yourself in the finish!

Cons: Could possibly have more than 8 molex connectors (i need about 12 and had to buy splitters) and a way to turn off that darn blue light! I sleep next to my pc and the blue light emitting from it gets real annoying sometimes but it looks awsome. Also maybe a choice of other colors would be nice.

Overall Review: I like to coordinate colors for custom pcs and I wish rosewill would start selling custom PSU orders or mods, such as different color finishes, different lights etc. Newegg shipped my order 3 day ground but I got it at noon the next day. SUPER FAST

Pros: Lot's of connectors. If you turn the fan speed from Auto to High this PSU runs very cool. The fan on it is great. Wires are sealed in mesh, nice clean look.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Would buy again

Pros: Still love the way it looks. Love that fresh-out-of-the-box smell. Mmmmmm....

Cons: COUPLE OF THINGS HERE: 1 ) The product specification said 8 four-pin connectors, which led me to believe there were 8 molex connections: there are only 6. I still have plenty of connections, but it's good to know ( I can use SATA on the hdd ). And it's very difficult to tell with the pictures exactly what all connectors it has, so had to go by specs . 2) There are 4 SATA connectors, not two. 3) Also ( not a big deal, people probably know this ): specs list 4-pin ATX and 8-pin EPS separately: it is two four-pin connectors, NOT a 4-pin AND an 8-pin. But just in case someone didn't realize it... So, except for the wrong number of molex connectors, the wrong number of sata connectors, and a slightly misleading description of the ATX connector, everything else seems accurate enough.

Overall Review: Oh, yeah: It even comes with a MANUAL with all sorts of color pictures detailing the components and how to connect everything...really neat. I didn't need it, but that's nice for the person installing their first psu.

Pros: extremely stable. Very quiet. Cool looking.

Cons: Wires a very bulky.

Overall Review: I have this running d805@3.94ghz,p5n32-e motherboard,2gb crucial ddr2 ballistix,single 8800gt video card. Provides very stable power.

Pros: 6 months and still running strong. 550W, 8 Peripheral Connectors(plenty to hook up all my case fans and have two dedicated to my 1950GT video card), and Does good during 3-4 hour or more long gaming sessions.

Cons: only one pci-e connector and only two sata, so I can't used this for newer computer.

Pros: Great PSU Cheap Efficient Reliable

Cons: None

Overall Review: I had this PSU well over a year and it's still functioning. I've used it in several computers and now it's been in my main computer for over a year.
