CODEGEN 300X power supply question (350w for $33 shipped)

[FordLorider]

First of all, does anyone have any experience with this PS. I read another thread about their 300w and nobody seems to like it much. The reason that I am bringing this up is because I can get this 350w for $33 shipped at OpenLinux. Anybody got any goods or bads? It is AMD recommended. This PS is just going to power the essentials, motherboard and drives. I will have another handling the fans. TIA!

built one for a friend's athlon 1.2. No issues with it.

I got the Codegen 9000 case from OpenLinx that has the 350W PSU. I'm hoping this will power my dual-Athlon setup once Epox puts their board up for sale. The 350-watter isn't the one on AMD's preferred PSU list, but its specs seem to meet the requirements. I guess I'll find out in a few weeks.

Thus far. no complaints on this case & PSU. Paid $77 or so shipped, I think. I'd buy from OL again.

I've used that PSU in more than a few builds and never had a problem.

Typical configuration was KT266A mobo, 1.4GHz tbird, 512MB DDR, Geforce 3 or Radeon, 60GB HD, DVD, CDRW, floppy, modem, NIC. Pretty complete systems.

Well I got it, hopefully it won't fail on me!

I've used CodeGen PS's in almost all of my systems and the ones I build for others and haven't had any issues at all. Works very good for me.

I used a 300W Codogen case/PSU to build my first rig. PCchips 817lmr board, 1.2 266 Tbird, 256 DDR. DVD, CD burner and a few fans. No problems.

I had a problem with a abit KT7 133 MB running a 1.2 athlon-c (266)
would not run stable W/antec pop300x PS over 1gig
the codgen fixed it. I now use these all the time from openlinx.com
there shipping is slow but good company just order ahead of time .
I get 4 at a time S/H $13.00 and the ps's are now $26.00 I think
great PS cant go wrong with these

Not sure if this helps you out much but www.mcglen.com has Codegen ATX cases with 300 watt AMD approved Power Supplys for $25. Thats case AND PS. Shipping is $15 but it still may be a good deal if you need a couple of things there. I've ordered many items from them and I've never had any problems. Just search "Codegen"

I buy my midtower cases for $30 + tax. Always has a 300w or higher ps.

Just bought one 4 weeks ago for my new rig. It is running great, and is very cool! (as opposed to hot).
I had before a 300w Enermax that was running very hot. My case temperaturers dropped with the codegen PSU.

One thing I like, is the possibility to hook the monitor to the PSU (Like in old AT PSUs). Saves me one plug.

Bump for an awesome deal!

Take a look at 800PC.com for Codegen deals also.............
I purchased a Codegen 300 for my 2nd PC (466 Celeron, ZX chipset) and been
running it for 3 weeks now without any problems.........Greg

Update, new system is up and running, PS seems to be working fine. I do however have all the fans on a seperate PS. FYI!

 

[FordLorider]

bump, still seems to be a good deal!
