I guess this site isn't a great place to sell. Most just look at the watt rating and the discussion is over.

This power supply offers a single 12v rail that delivers tons of constant smooth power. This is designed to be completely stable and is capable of running an overclocked setup. It could pull enough power to do a high end vga and overclocked cpu. I might see it being a problem if you decided to do a high end sli or crossfire setup. It would be good for a mid range sli or crossfire setup though...

Anyway, this power supply rocks, and the only reason I upgraded was to give myself room to grow.

How would you do SLI? Get a splitter or something? Heh, I would've taken it a couple months ago, but I just bought this one...

If I tampered with an item, I would not be selling it, and if I was, the changes or modifications would be noted.

The whole reason it's only $55 is to entice people to buy from me rather than an e-tailer, jay. That's the whole point of there being a price discount.

yea but im not saying you would and your best of with ebay or something. But you shouldnt buy spec a psu, spec 2n hand(whihc i dont know if it is new) but any1 could of tampered with it and you could put it in your system n it could blow, with some cost. you would prop have to buy a new motherboard n so. PSU are best brought from retails. No ofference to fghtinIrshNvrDi, what a long username i would hate to type that everytime i log in lol

PSUs have surge protection on them, if the PSU blew nothing would happen to the system
