Can anyone offer a quality opinion on Ultra Power Supplies please?

About the only supplier that I can find it Tiger Direct and they have a
half price offer at the moment for a 500watt unit for forty bucks
instead of $80.

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...tails.asp?EdpN
o=599600&Sku=U10-9500%20TL&CatId=1079

It seems as if it may be too good to be true but I can't find any reviews.

Can anyone out there please help with some information or links to reviews?

Thanks

Pete

never heard of that, but tiger direct has a weak reputation

Well Thank You guys for the heads up on Tiger. That should save me some
cash but it does still leave me with one small point of interest - are the
Ultra Power Supplies good, bad or indifferent?

If there is not answer to that question, what about the quality of Antec's
units?

Thanks again

Pete

I have a Kingwin from Tiger Direct, After having an Enermax die within
5 minutes of power up this Kingwin is much better built and features a
pair of variable speed fans with thermal sensor on board which the
enermax did not.

It is not possible to buy a good quality 500W power supply for $40USD. An
Antec True550 is around $95USD and a very good PSU. Sparkle/Fortron Source
or Enermax are other good brands to look at.

Antec's True Power units are good. Antec is a reliable name and have been
for ages.Solid and reasonable.
