Is this a good PSU??

Looks like a rebadged A+GPB to me.

From what I can make out of those blurry-assed pics, looks to be 26amps on the 3.3v, 42amps on the 5v, and 18amps on the 12v rail which is OK, but not the best.

Click on VAN-520A

They are really loud! Their total silence claim is total BS... :rolleyes:

in which case its likely a PW series Topower supply of basic spec compliance (ATX12V v1.3)

I wouldnt at this point recommend an ATX12V v1.3 supply
unless its a dead end purchase solely for the rig your currently building
newer boards and components will require even more amps on the +12V rail
(Consider that a Prescott is at 9.8 Amps and 117 Watts, + graphics cards already on or soon to be on the +12V rail + PCI-E + SLi)
and intrduce even more dynmic loads, meaning that exceeding the spec for load regulation on a single +12V rail supply, and having alot of amps, isnt a bad idea

a better strategy being to actually get an ATX12V v2.0 supply with dual +12V rails and alot of amps

with each new spec and revision of the spec the +12V rial(s) increase)
ATX12V 1.3 supplies have been overhauled to supply more amps, but that is just to make them relavant with current boards, they will very likely be left behind altogether in the near future (depending on your actual config)

but this is all pie in the sky without actually running the numbers
