Who makes Mad Dog Power supplies, and are they any good?

[mattburk]

I was at compusa the other day and I noticed some mad dog power supplies. One was modular and looked pretty good. The other was a high power low noise psu. I have a mad dog dvd burner. It is a nec, nice drive.
Does anyone know who makes the mad dog psu's and if they are any good?
Thanks
Matt

Ok, I found out that topower makes them, but I still dont know if they are any good.
Thanks

I have not heard about them, but I would stick with PSU's from known good brands.

I believe OCZ uses Topower for some of their PowerStream line. Search for a bit more specific data and you'll probably see whether or not they're a good deal.

I just searched google and you are correct.

Is this is like the OCZ, it should be a great PSU.

That's what I was thinking.

See if you can find any reviews on the particular model you were looking at

I just replaced a quirky 400W PSU with a 450W Mad Dog PSU.

Excellent PSU the computer is O/C still very Stable and Cool.

:sun:

I just picked up the mad dog 500watt psu tonight. I love it so far. It comes with plenty of cables, modular, and much more quiet than my old generic psu.

I bought the 350watt from CompUSA (free after rebate). My 480 Antec is being sent in for RMA service and I am using this power supply now. This seems to be a very good power supply. I am powering two hard drives, 3 optical drives, 5 case fans and a 6800 pcix video card. It has one 92mm intake and one 80mm outtake fan. Both are very quiet. I am really surpised at how cool the power supply runs. There is barely any heat coming out of the outtake fan. I actually had the same question (who makes it?) only because I was so impressed with the quality. Surprising because I do not care much for their video cards and optic drives.
