This is an excellent power supply . I have it running 7 fans , a MachSpeed motherboard , Thermaltake cpu fan , a BFG 7800 , 2 hard drives , 2 dvd players and will soon be adding a Sata drive !!
This is a great PS for a great price , not 1 problem since I installed it !! :~)

Have used this PSU in my brothers PC for about 6 months now. Runs great and stable. Was inexpensive.
My biggest complaint is that this thing runs HOT. I truely think that half of the heat generation inside of his PC is generated by this thing... 4 case fans wont keep enough air flow going to keep this thing cool. It hasn't affected performance, but I just hate the thought of his AMD X2 3800+ running near 60C (using upgraded heatsink and AS5 paste) because the ambient temp is so high.
For the value I cant complain too much. I'm just glad its my brothers PC and not mine.

Pros: Got it for free with rebates, has run a P4 3Ghz with 2 HD's, NVIDIA 7600GT, and 2 DVD burners almost constantly for a year with no problems.
Cons: Somewhat noisy, no SLI support, no 8 Pin 12V for CPU
All in all its a good buy if you get it cheap.

Installing a Power Supply - An Easy-to-follow
11-Step, Photo Illustrated Guide
When you've upgraded your PC system by adding on a number of new peripherals
it might be time to upgrade your power supply as well. Our handy guide gives
you simple instructions on how to install your brand new power supply.
Standard Electrical
Specification Terms
What Is A Joule? Or a Watt, Volt, or an Amp?
Electronics and
Electricity, uses a wide range of terms to represent different kinds of measurement units.
Many you have seen every day, and others from time to time in product specifications. These
are all part of the International System of Units. Here is a short list of several common
terms your will see in our products and their meanings:
JOULE: One joule (symbol: J) is
defined as the amount of work done by electricity. Technically it is the work required to
continuously produce one watt of power for one second; or one watt second (W*s). One
kilowatt hour (a common electric company measure) equals 3,600,000 Joules (1W*s x 1,000 x 3600
seconds).
Using This Chart You Can Easily Calculate
The Wattage, Current (Amps), Ohms, and Voltage For A Device!
WATT: In terms of mechanical
energy, one watt (symbol: W or P) is a measure of energy used - this frequently results in heat, or
as in the case of a light bulb, the heat creates a glow, thus more heat equals more light.
Technically a Watt is the rate at which work is done when an object is moved at a speed of one meter
per second against a force of one newton. By the definitions of electric potential (volt) and
current (ampere), work is done at a rate of one watt when one ampere flows through a potential
difference of one volt - or simply A*V=W
AMP (Ampere): In practical
terms, the ampere (symbol: I) is the amount of electrical current passing through a conductor (a
wire). Technically it is a measure of the amount of electric charge passing a point per unit
time. Around 6.242 × 1018 electrons passing a given point each second constitutes one ampere. You
can figure out the Amps being use by dividing the Wattage by Voltage. A 100W light, in a
typical house (120V) uses 1.2A.
VOLT (Voltage): The volt
(symbol: V) is the unit of electromotive force measurement, commonly called "voltage".
Technically, the volt is defined as the value of the voltage across a conductor when a current of
one ampere dissipates one watt of power in the conductor. For example, if you know a TV uses
295 Watts and uses 2.45 Amps, you can calculate the voltage is 120 Volts.
OHM: The ohm (symbol: Ω
or R) is the unit of electrical impedance in AC, or, in the direct current case, electrical
resistance. It is the resistance of material to electrical current. The higher the
value, the higher the resistance, and the more voltage is required, and the more current used.
Most home speakers are low resistance, just 8 ohm. Technically, the ohm is defined as the
resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant of 1 volt is applied, and
produces in a current of 1 ampere.
DECIBEL: The decibel (dB)
is a logarithmic unit of measurement that expresses the magnitude of a physical quantity (usually
power or intensity) relative to a specified or implied reference level. The decibel is useful
for a wide variety of measurements (particularly acoustics and electronics). It has a number of
advantages, such as the ability to conveniently represent very large or small numbers, in a scaling
that roughly corresponds to the human perception of sound and light. It is frequently seen in
Home Theater Receivers to represent amplification or volume. Since it is based on a reference
level, it is not easily used by the non-engineer, but simply as a specification value.
