Rosewill

[cieje]

anybody have experience with the Rosewill modular power supplies? I'm looking at:

I plan to put it in a aspire x-qpack. I figure modular > standard for small applications like this to eliminate extra cables; plus the blue lights are pretty =)

Rosewill is newegg's rebadged brand. I'm not sure of the original manufacturer

the official list says: Rosewill will remain on the list of PSUs to avoid - if only because you will never know which manufacturer made a particular model of Rosewill PSU without opening the box. The good ones are just a hair lower in overall quality than the similarly priced FSP's, while the bad ones are craptacular.

I really need to make a canned speech for why not to buy XXX brand, until I do I'm just going to say don't ever buy a rosewill or aspire PSU. If you want modular, then Enermax Liberty (for the money), if you want standard cables, then fortron or seasonic.
