Thermaltake Smart RGB (500w) (80+ White) (5-yr warranty)
Corsair CV450 (450w) (80+ Bronze) (3-yr warranty)
CoolerMaster MWE (450w) (80+ White) (3-yr warranty)
CoolerMaster Masterwatt (550w) (80+ Bronze) (5-yr warranty)
Seasonic S12III (550w) (80+ Bronze) (5-yr warranty)
but so far, all the budget PSUs in roughly the same price range seem to be considered as poor quality.......that's why i was thinking at the same price range and quality range - i might as well get one with 5-yr warranty.......
the funniest thing is my Emachine's small form factor desktop's PSU (165-180w) lasted 9+ years !.........but yet i read so many reviews about new 450w-550w PSUs from the famous brands failing within months ??!!
Just because PSU claims it can do 450-550W, doesn't mean it actually can.
Especially in the low price range there is a big difference in quality.
Acer isn't stupid, they sell millions of those PC's. If they use bad power supplies it will cost them millions of dollars.the funniest thing is my Emachine's small form factor desktop's PSU (165-180w) lasted 9+ years !.........but yet i read so many reviews about new 450w-550w PSUs from the famous brands failing within months ??!!
