Rosewill 550W, any good

im looking into a rosewill also but i think that one is better than the one i was thinking of getting and cheaper too.
 
MTBF: 100k hours at max. load, normal line and 25°C
Approvals: CSA, CB, TUV, FCC, UL

35A on the +12 not bad.

Hate its rated at 25C only time a power supply runs at 25c is when its turned off , But at least they published the info and at that price it seems a good deal. Good approvals too, TUV is tough approval to get (compared to most, UL just means it might not burn your house down).

at that price and those specs I like it too.
 
I'm not sure about the 1 fan solution and the air flow but, the rest of the specs look alright. I've got to wonder how and at what temperature they get the 550w rating. For $55.00 I would probably give it a shot if I was building a budget system.
 
I was actually looking at these for a TEC PSU...

35 amps should be enough...eheh

Hehe :).

Anyway, I too have been looking at this PSU. It's manufactured by a company called ATNG and its basically the exact same power supply as the Coolmax 550W with the 14cm fan which is selling for over $20 more at newegg. I haven't yet read anything bad about ATNG, but I'm still keeping a lookout. The TT-550SS on Directron for $54.99 is also something else I'm looking at. It seems to come from a quality maker, but why is it so cheap! Suspicious :p.
