One is working the other died with little use

I bought two of these, one was and still is working 3 plus years later. The other crapped out with barely any use on a secondary computer with minimal hours on it. I tested it only shows 5V working.

Great for the price. For the price... This unit has exceedingly long cables, and far to many of them, although the flexforce technology allowed me to safely route the unused cables between the drive tray and the case siding. I do have one worry, though. Considering the price, there must be something the manufacturer cut back on. Given the Nice fan, the very stylish blue finish, and the good wattage, I'm a little unsure of the quality of the components within the unit itself, you do not want a power spike frying your $4000 system. Does anyone know if this has overvoltage protection? Of course (I pray) the price may be based solely on the oversized cords

No problems so far. (Knock on wood.) It replaced a standard (no brand name) 300W and 350W. Powers a P4-2.66, ATI AIW X800 XL, 3 hard drives, 2 optical drives, 1 floppy, USB webcam, USB printer, USB ROM linker, USB memory card reader/writer and USB thumb drive. Great price (bought at under CA$70) !!!

The unit looks impressive but I found out the hard way that the exceptionally oversized wires and excessive length of the cables make it impossible to install in my PC which is a real desktop cabinet configuration (not a tower) that has limited space. I need to see if there is a way to rewire with standard cables.
