Default Rosewill: The new low end powerhouse?
I have used a few Rosewill PSUs and have had excellent results from them. Anyone else starting to consider them the best low cost PSU?

Because they're lightweight and generic (the two almost always go hand in hand). Like other generics, you can get away with it on an older build (modest Barton rig, for example), but in a modern machine, you're rolling the dice.

On the budget front: Antec and FSP come to mind. A little higher up on the pricing scale sits OCZ.

other items like their keyboards and mice and cases may be decent for a low end build but I would not trust my components with their Power supplies, even my older builds... thats just me.


Thanks HL and Corsair!

I've seen some really good reviews for some of their higher end stuff... don't know about their lower end stuff. Depends on the oem, really.

I have a friend who has a Rosewill keyboard and the thing is literally falling apart (keys and paint). I would not buy a PSU from a company who cannot even seem to make a reliable keyboard.

Well, the thing is that rosewell doesn't really make any of their product, it's all rebranded stuff. That's why it really depends on the oem.

I'd sooner use a Rosewill PSU as a doorstop than as a means of powering my computer. Come to think of it...it probably wouldn't be heavy enough for doorstop duty either.
