Matx power supply

[stevej696]

I have a matx case and it has a cit 200w matx power supply but i think its on its way out. Its smelling pretty bad so i am now looking for an other to replace it.

Are there any good rating matx psu's out there as i can only find value series on ebuyer and cit models?

Its needs to be 300-400w as its running a e1200 dual core, le7200 graphics, 3.5" hard-drive and cold cathode lights.

Cheers

There are good ones, but you may need to import them.

Unfortunately they're quite rare to find here and are pretty expensive.

Hmmm. I'd like some of them to be tested by Jim tbh, in his torture chamber.

There are 2 or 3 for sale @ ebuyer. None of them are from what we may regard as a "quality" manufacturer.

However, I got 2 suspects that were supplied with a range of htpc case, quoting 400w, and they ~seem~ to be ok. Not as if they're going to be pushed to any degree.

I do hear stories of "quality" manufacturers making some, but never see them.

Ok cheers rasta,

I jus need something reliable as 200w is ridiculous!

It came with the case so i cant complain.

Please keep me updated when stress tests arrive

cheers
