Shipping weight 3lbs is a bit scary. A decent power supply of that wattage should weigh at least 5 or 6 pounds.Originally posted by: Raider1284

I bought a case and power supply for that cost and the power supply has outlived two Antec power supplies that I've had.Originally posted by: Raider1284

A quality PSU (that doesn't necessarily mean expensive) is at the top of my priority list of parts worth spending a little money on. Depending on your power needs, you'd be much better off going with a lower watt PSU from a quality manufacturer like Silverstone, FSP, Enhance, etc. Not trying to be critical or anything but I'd hate to see your new parts go up in smoke or have you fight weird quirks because of a dumpy PSU.

What he said. I'd add Seasonic, PCP&C, Fortran, and Zippy to that list...

Or of course you could just buy a quality PSU up front and avoid all such complications
