I was building a computer for my cousin, and I had finished putting it all together, so I finally hit the power switch to turn it on... And nothing happens. I open it up and re-check all the cables; everything is completely fine. I shrug and then pull out the coolmax power supply and hook up a spare OCZ power supply that I had lying around. Computer turns out without any problems at all.
Talked to newegg and they're going to send me a replacement since the first was obviously DOA. I am starting to wonder if I really made the wrong choice by buying this thing, though. My cousin needed a PC for cheap and his system is not going to draw much power. He really only wanted that PSU because of the blue LED and because it was within his budget.
Do you think I really have to worry about it frying his mobo or anything like that? What would Coolmax/Newegg do if that happened? I think I have the opportunity to take a refund on newegg. Will there be a penalty for this and should I do it?
The power supply is this one:
