NZXT LEXA Black Aluminum Mid Tower & XION 600W Powersupply

hey...ok found one in my local store...its a Jeantech Psu's STORM 700WATT PSU..
now is it good or what?? its only 100 EUros which is very cheap for a 700W...can anyone give me advice on this?

I did a quick search and found the following info on the PSU.

Review --> http://www.xsreviews.co.uk/reviews-73-page1.html
Mfg site --> http://www.jeantech.com/storm.htm

It looks to be a stable PSU with active PFC and 82%+ efficiency. It states it has 3 12V+ rails, but the mfg site only specs two at 19A each. Correct me if I am wrong, but that only equates to about 30-35A total for the 12V rails. If it does indeed have a third rail at 19A, that would be more in line with other 700w PSUs and give a 45-50A total for the 12V rails.

Hope this info helps and correct me if I am wrong the Amps.

I know nothing about PSUs you see..thats why am wondering if its anygood at all!

I have no idea what..30-35A means or 12V means at all!

if it has 2 12v-Rails or 3 12v-Rails...iam clueless to what this means!
It does appear good...It has a nice looking case and I like the name of it lol

so...is it good??? is it worth buying??? and could I have problems in the future with it?? I only have 1 hard drive..1 dvd-rom..ive got nothing fancy...so should it be stable??

From the sounds of things you could save some money and get a nice Antec, Enermax or Thermaltake PSU in the 500w range and have plenty of power to spare. If you are not planning to add more hard drives, have dual core in the near future, go sli w/ two gfx cards or get a Nvidia 8800GTS/X, then you are probably safe with a 500-550w PSU with 32-40 amps on the 12 volt rails (This are where the gfx card, motherboard get there power. The 3.3 & 5 volt supply the hard drives, fans and etc.) I would hate to see you spend 100 euro on something you will never get full use out of. Use that money to upgrade the case, add a second storage drive etc. But, if it is about the looks, here is a good PSU that is stable, quiet and looks good with modular cables on Newegg --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817331001

Hope this helps
(sorry about all the tech info. It is habit after looking at tech sites all the time)

Thanks for more info

I shall keep an eye on the ANTEC PSUs on Komplett.ie and if I fail to get one..then I guess I could use the STORM 700W as a backup
once again! thanks.
