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

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. -- ____________________ Remove "X" from email address to reply. |

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