Cheap pc.. Cheap psu?

[Luigi]

For a dead cheap pc, which will only be used for emails, internet and general office stuff, will this be ok?

I know its a good make, but it seems extremely cheap.

It also needs to be efficient, as the pc will be on all day, any other recomendations?

I can honestly say I've never heard of a brand named Silverpower (Silverstone rip-off? ) and the last thing you want to cheap out on is the PSU.

IMO, I'd go for this one;

Better brand, only ~10 quid dearer. Trust me, the ~10 quid will show its worth in a matter of time.

looks alright to me. not that powerful mind you, you'll need to get a bigger one if you're after something to power a big psu. also, it only has a 4 pin output, which might mess you about if you have a hungry mobo. you're probably better off putting a bit more money into it and going for something more powerful, but if you dont ned anything too powerful then it'll be fine, google it to see if you can find if anyone has had anytrouble like power surges etc

Silverpower are part of the tagan group, I believe OC3D reviewed some of their PSU's?

It doesnt need to be at all powerful, and 4 pin is fine.. I just wanted some other opinions before I buy

Is everyone leaning towards no?

I have the Silverpower 600w in my rig at the moment. Its a very good PSU for the cash.

I also reviewed the 1kw version...and I didnt say this but Tagan actually ceased production of it because it was better (and cheaper) than the Tagan Turbojet series

LOL, I think ill get this psu then

It's been fine, rock solid. It's been almost a year now. Only complaint is it is not modular.
