| BAM-BAM  |  Bad PSU, Bad! Well I knew it would happen sooner or later. The Ultra X-finity 500 bit the dust! It lasted 2 years which is about 729 more days than I thought it would last. For 19.99 I think I got a hell of a deal. I pulled it last night and am looking to get a new one. Thank goodness it didnt take anything with it, I was just experiencing random shutdowns and reboots. I pulled it before it could take hostages. I thought I would come on here and see if someone had an extra GOOD PSU laying around? Or point out some great deals that they have seen around. Thanks, -1   |

| Re: Bad PSU, Bad! Take a look at the new Ultra X-Pro and X3 series. Ultra switched to a new OEM, that is servergrade.

| Re: Bad PSU, Bad! It was their old modular PSU that didn't use a very good OEM. Their new PSUs use a server-grade OEM and platform. Andyson I believe? Opteron 64 165--1.5GB DDR--ECS KA1 MVP(thanks HL!)--x1800GTO 256MB--Seagate 320GB SATA--Antec 550 Watt--Antec P180 |
