Thoughts on PowerStar PSU

OzzmanFloyd120 · Apr 9, 2008

The one I'm looking at is a 600w max. I've never really heard much about the company. Does anybody have any thoughts?

Found it for cheap on ebay.

need a clear and good pic of the psu label on the specific model you're looking at

For $10, you're asking for your computer to go up in a ball of flames. I'd spend at least $60 on a PSU, otherwise quality will be extremely poor. The PSU is the most important part of your system.

Oh goodness not again. PSU questions everywhere ....

If you need reliable but cheap here:

Oh, I completely understand. That's the reason I haven't clicked buy now. When I googled reviews and specs on it I didn't see anything that looked even remotely close to the PSU in the picture. That's why I turned to you guys, maybe one of you have owned one simmilar and can vouch for the company's credibility at least.

Oh also, just letting you know, I have owned one of those I linked to for about 2 years and still going strong.

a $20 psu, regardless of brand will cost you hundreds in new gfx cards and mobo's. Simple. I had a zalman psu that I had to return for warantee once and while it was away I chucked in a cheap omni 500w psu and fragged my gfx card, mobo and cpu!!!!!

JrRacinFan · Apr 9, 2008

So Mafia, after my personal experience with my FIRST EVER $20 psu, which was better than an Antec that fried a socket a rig, you wouldn't recommend any inexpensive psu?

EDIT: OK ok, I came off harsh to Mafia, I apologize.

Here is a good quality psu. They usually have deals on the Real Power Pro 750, but this is only $50 after rebate.
