Lightbulb SHAW 860W (TRI FAN) or the A-Power Black Label 650W?
Hey guys. I'm going to msy with a mate on Friday and im getting my new pc.
I see they have in the parts list:
A-Power Black Label 650W - $29
SHAW 860W (TRI FAN) MAX - $27
----------
Has anyone bought one of these two? If so, please post and tell me your experience. I want to get the SHAW one, but I've heard SHAW isnt very good.
All help would be appreciated (PS: I'm only buying form MSY, and im from aussie. Dont give me newegg or any online shops. im ONLY BUYING FROM MSY!)
----------
Thanks,
Ben

Unless Australia has a weird new conversion rate where you drop a zero, don't buy either of those PSUs. Is your current PSU not cutting it?

Please spend a few more dollars on a PSU.

Drop money on a good PSU. A good PSU is the most important part of any build. If you buy a POS, it may just crap out your whole system.

To answer most of your questions: (1) a fridge cannot cool a PC (2) 64-bit OS for over 3.4GB (3) If a PCIe card fits, it should work (4) Resolution, not screen size (5) If you have a question, it is not news (6) Report, not respond to Spam (7) Single-Rail/Non-Modular PSUs are not always better than Multi-Rail/Modular
