Onky problem is that it uses Teapo capacitors which are OK but not great. It might work great for a 1 hour review but after a year it may be turned to crap. Who knows?	Agent_24 (57)

They may be OK for years, or cr*p out just beyond the warranty period. Another $40 will get you a Cooler Master of the same wattage. If you can afford it, get a Corsair. Yes, you may pay nearly double as the cheapie in your link for a quality psu. If you have high demands on your pc such as overclocking or gaming, avoid cheapie psu's. If you are short of cash, want to take a chance, and will not thrash your pc, get the cheapie and then come back here in 3 or 4 years to tell us how long it lasted.	Strommer (42)

If you want to ensure it lasts a long time, make sure it also has high quality capacitors in it. A lot of PSUs are good designs let down by crappy capacitors. However those are easy to replace with better quality ones....	Agent_24 (57)
