anyone have any experiences with this brand? I was looking at this psu for my new system:
Turbo case 520w psu
Turbo case 520w psu
I had a hard time deciding to buy this power source, because specs were hard to come by. Some might find these useful:
Maximum current:
+3.3V -- 28A
+5V -- 30A
+12V -- 34A
-5V -- 0.3A
-12V -- 0.8A
+5Vsb -- 2.0A
Combined maximum load on +3.3V and +5V is 200W
Combined maximum load on +3.3V, +5V, and +12V is500W
Total maximum load is 520W
Compatible with ATX12V 2.03, meets the ATX12V form factor

The newer PSUs will have the power split much more heavily weighted to the +12V rail as most CPUs should be powered by +12V (P4-12V connector) as well as drive motors and even some video cards.
So there is really nothing wrong with the power breakdown on the Aspire (note the 30+ Amps on the 12V rail - most older 300W or so PSUs have 10-15 Amps). IAC, even 400W PSUs are gross overkill anymore as long as the power allocation among the rails is proper for today's systems.
