It's a Rosewill, So, It's probably only useful for like %35 of it's rated wattage.

Even then, it's probably unstable.

Yeah I'm curious about this. Who certifies these and under what conditions? I've used a Rosewill in the past and it was rock solid, still going as far as I know now... 6 years out

LOL, good comments so far! But for $99 I'd give it a chance, and send it back if I didn't like it.

Nearly all PSUs sold today are farmed out to other companies to produce. Corsair, Antec, Silverstone and PC Power doesn't make any of their PSUs either.
To be fair to Rosewill many of their newer stuff is reasonably well built. They aren't going to top any lists in performance figures but they'll at least do what they say they can.

If I needed a modular PSU today I'd get the Ultra X3 850W at Tigerdirect for $99.99 plus shipping. The X3's have gotten a lot of good reviews. I have the 1000W and it's great. I'm sure the 850W is better than that Rosewill.

I doubt it, I had a 600W Ultra that lasted just over a year then died. They refused to honor the warranty saying that I bought it through an OEM, and had to go through them. It supposedly had an Ultra lifetime warranty too. ULTRA SUCKS. They DO NOT stand behind their products.

I went through email exchanges with them for a week and finally gave up and bought the Antec I'm using now. I even had the proof of purchase for the power supply and they STILL refused to RMA it.
