TD: PSUs 250W->450W <$25 & 270W->550W @ $25->$50 (shipping not included)

[Ghetto_Child]

Ok decided to make a list of all PSUs that TD has for <$26 up to $50 before shipping.

So first we have my favourite of the <$26 list. Why? Well it's a 400W modular Ultra brand for $23; no MIRs.

I love this customer's review. I can't stop cracking up about it.
REVIEW BY: Traducao Reviewed Nov 22, 2007
ok well i got this about 1 week ago and its been working well holding up my 8800 GT Alpha Dog and 6000+ Processor but i noticed every time i turn on the computer it kind of u no... doesnt turn on. so i tried dropping it on the ground a couple times but then wen i put it in my computer it sparked and a few minutes later smoke was going through the fans. over all i really respect this power supply for what it helped me with.

[jcoltage]

Good find .. just a warning that I have 1 tiny experience on TD MIR ... they seem to pull a houdini.. Buyer beware but a good deal if it goes through

[bob the builder]

Beware the crappy quality of these PSUs. The reviews for them aren't good. I'd personally stay away from the Diablo PSU like the plague, and according to newegg.com reviews the CoolerMaster is really loud. It's cheap though, so the choice is yours. I had a loud PSU a while back and basically I had to get some noise cancelling headphones or risk going clinically insane, so keep that in mind :P

I'll add the $25-$50 range later since there's a whole lot; taking a break for some Naruto Shippuuden Indulgence.

Are these prices any good? Keep in mind these are for older systems or non-SLI/Crossfire use.

I think I just found a winner for my needs. No mail-in rebate either. Anyone know anything about its quality?

[goofball]

I would'nt use any of them. The Coolermaster...maybe but definitely knowing the load I intend to put on it (integrated graphics and what not). There's a reason they are cheap.

[Ghetto_Child]

I'm pretty sure I stated they're not for SLI/Crossfire use. They would be good for people using older systems or smaller sized setups. I'm still thinking that a Dual Core mATX board with everything integrated would do fine on some of these PSUs.

[doubleA]

Another decent one around $30 bucks is the Thermaltake 430W:

http://www.canadacomputers.com/main....901&cid=PS.808

I just picked it up...solid, quiet and lots of connectors. Good efficiency rating as well.

[majic]

don't cheap out on a PSU.. it's gotta be one of the more important components in the PC.. get one that's got the most of the following: efficiency, near silence, reliability.. go with corsair, seasonic or a couple of other reputable brands or go home..

my favourites would range from the 450W (450VX) value line for $75 to the 620HX (620HX, modular) for about $150 @ ncix

my 2c

[infamouskid]

STAY AWAY FROM POWERUP PRODUCTS.
they are the worst line of pc components you can find.
cheap very cheap.

thermaltake is good.
so is coolermaster. the ultra line psu's..xconnect makes reputable psu's. all the others are cheap.if your going for a reliable psu expect nothing less then 100 bucks with shipping. always keep that in mind if you want stability and reliability. 100 bucks minimum.

ultra products get 2 thumbs up everytime. corsair.. you can never go wrong.

you want reliable this is a good price.

majic is speaking of the Corsair VX and HX power supplies. I'd have to agree with him, that every single one of those corsairs from the budget to the high end lines get good reviews.

An out of spec. power supply can potentially damage your expensive system components in the long run. Invest in a quality PSU and everyone will be happier!

ere shipping always kill the deals. =/

amen to that. as i said reliability in the psu category is like the uttermost important. it's like the cpu. would you get an cyrix over the intel and amd?
i think not.

[madman604]

+1
i have the coolermaster 600W.

its junk. "whisper quiet" my @$$

i returned one cuz the fan ran full speed, the second was quiet for 5 min then the same. however it only cost $35 so i wont cry much.

Coolermaster Cases yes, PSU no.

[Ghetto_Child]

People it's not always about the price. There's tons of PSUs at $50 and even less than $50 that out perform safely a bunch of $75-$100 PSUs. I've already gone through SKYMTL's reviews here and are the most recent ones I've read proving this fact and they're not the only reviews that agree. What matters the most is the components inside or what PSU the one you're buying is based off of. Also Thermaltake has a very regular history of making very bad chinese made PSUs. I believe the one you have is good but their good vs bas ration is extremely low.
