bmxfreakrider · 09-24-2007, 10:19 PM

As the title says, my psu exploded....not like pop fffffftttt then smoke, i mean BANG TING TING TING TING FFFFFFFFFSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTT POP POP POP `billowing smoke` spark spark...etc, the classic psu lasershow.

So, because of this, I am NOT getting another $20 psu...and $100 is tooo much, so I have been looking at this 450w TT, and im liking what I see for $65

LMAO. That 550w has the same amperage on its 12v rail as my 400w PSU. No wonder it blew up.

bmxfreakrider · 09-24-2007, 10:36 PM

lol thats pretty funny. and the main reason my eyes locked to the TT was because of the amperage, price, looks, and most importantly: Modular Cabling. I love that stuff, makes wire management soo much easier.

Man I forgot how fast my HP was

Too lower amperage for that price...

This is the one I would have chose.

Newegg.com - Rosewill RP550V2-S-SL 550W SLI Ready-ATX12V V2.01 Power Supply 115/230 V CSA,UL,TUV,FCC - Retail

Actually I did choose it as I own it. Excellent stability and amperage for the money.
