i just built my dad a rig and the case came with a 300w psu...what are your views on generic, psu's that are included in a 50 dollar case?

instant death to computer. change it immediately!

Who made the generic? You may be able to find out by looking up the UL ("RU") certification number at www.ul.ca, any CSA certification at www.csa.ca. If you see either no number associated with either symbol, then the certification has been faked, meaning that the PSU is guaranteed to be trash.

Can you post a picture of the PSU, especially its label? A view inside would help, too.

I jest...I jest. Seriously though it isn't a good PSU but what do you want to know exactly? Why it isn't good? What makes a good supply? While it kill your system? etc.

First builds always seem to either be cake or a pain never in between. ANyway, so what exactly do you want to know so I can help.

 

[mdlsFREAK]

it seems the question has been answered...i should tell my dad to look into another psu soon

 

[Boozer]

lol yea, it was just user error. thats all. well he needs to convince his dad to get a better PSU. i tell him that PSU's are not messing around and can be dangerous to your system. being that its a PSU out of a generic case. it doesnt seem to friendly to me. so, im trying to help him convince his dad that he needs a new PSU

Who did the shopping? Lord.

$50 with a Codegen you're going to ditch. $10 more and you can get an AOpen with an FSP power supply you'd want to keep.

Just look for the QF50 series cases on Froogle, etc. http://global.aopen.com.tw/products/housing/QF50series.htm (Naturally, the one with the windows and blue LED costs a little more.) The PSU is AOpen branded, but they're FSP's. They just recently switched from a high 5V 300W to a high 12V 350W (essentially getting the extra 50W from the 12V.) VERY well made case (about the quality of an Enlight or Chenming,) good power supply and at a very good price.

Damn... That almost sounded like a service announcment.
