PSU reviews prior to 2010 can be found here

[Sir Golitech]

Holy crowly, that's alot of PSU reviews. Nice work people

[harleybro]

Another great guide Ol' Norton. Stickied it so it will stay up top.

[Snafu]

Good stuff mate!

[ol'norton]

Updated.
There is getting too many for me to check the links all the time,
so if you click on a broken link, let me know.

[Dave3d]

2 more to add:

Ultra x4 1200w (need the Ultra x4 1600w review from somwehere)
http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php...Story&reid=174

Silverstone ST1500 (although you have 2 of these already)
http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php...Story&reid=175

[ol'norton]

I took out all reviews prior to 2010.

[RacingKen]

Darn it! My Ultra LSP 650 (650watt) PSU went out Friday morning.
I had to remove my video card as the new Logisys 480watt was the most I could afford to get right now. It was only $34.95 pluss tax. It does not have a 6 pin PCIe plug on it. So for now I am using the ati onboard graphix, an ATI 3300.
I guess I will have to buy another PSU in a week or two.

[Dave3d]

Well, dont get another Ultra.
:P

Go Corsair.

[RacingKen]

I am looking at an (A-power AK 750 watt from Geeks.com. $33.99 plus $6.14 shipping.
An affordable price and maybe the wife will let me live. LOL

I would not go cheap!

Reason#1: cheaper power supplies have low efficiencies. This will mean you will chew up more AC power to produce the same current to the computer.

Reason#2: cheaper power supplies fudge on the current ratings and usually use substandard parts in them. Too many people I know of have used cheap power supplies and have ended up with a fried computer.

Get a Power supply that is at least 80+ certified and has large +12V rails. you will be better off in the long run!

[Just Learnin']

I have been unable to find anything good being said about A-Power PSU's. This is probably what you can expect from them: Linkage

[RacingKen]

Ok thanks guys I think I will try to fix mine, I took it apart and see the bad capacitor. I took it out, it's a 16v one so maybe today I can get one and replace it to see if it will revive it. I will try it in an old computer first! I have an old 2.53 ghtz single core I will hook it up to to make sure it works before I put it in this one.

[Dave3d]

Brands I trust:
Corsair
Silverstone
XFX (for their PSU's right now)
BFG (but, they went out of business recently, so no warrenty)

Enermax and Antec are a mixed bag.
OCZ has sucked since their first PSU's.

Everyone else, I wouldnt really go with.
