Do NOT buy refurbished power supplies from NewEgg..
They do NOT test them before reselling them.
On my first and last batch, I ordered 3:
- 1 was DOA (blown fuze, ran around town, found correct 8A fuse, plugged it, drained power on all my house circuits (dimmed lights) and BLEW fuze without even plugged into a board. was a 350 watt)
- 1 was Near DOA. (Powered up, then if any load on the computer (we're talking a Duron 1000 on a 330 watt.. no, it wasn't the system) then it shut down instantly, restarted, then the power needed to reboot caused it to get into a loop of power off/power on every second.. Tried on a Duron 850... Did the same thing til it blew the fuse.
- 1 (300 watt) worked.
Cost: Lost original shipping AND return shipping AND 15% restocking fee to return 2 dead of the 3 supplies to them for the convience of "Testing" them for them.
Net loss: ~$30.
PO'd: Yes.
