Help! I need somebody!

[TehMac]

Ok, so I had an OCZ 520 Watt, 12v PSU, and I turned off my computer Sunday night, I come back Monday afternnon and it won't turn on. At all. I checked the cords, everything. I checked the surgeprotector and it was on. I thought it was the motherboard, but then I realized it was the PSU, becuse the lights were not on in the rear of the PSU. OCZ/Newegg no longer carry my PSU, are there any good recommendations for a PSU around that calibre for around 140 dollars?


Thanks.

Ok, so here's my old PSU, no longer being sold:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817711002

OCZ PowerStream OCZ520ADJSLI ATX12V 2.01, BTX, EPS12V 520W Power Supply 100 - 240 V - Retail

Here's the one I am looking at:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817139001


CORSAIR CMPSU-520HX ATX12V v2.2 and EPS12V 2.91 520W Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, CUL, CE, CB, FCC Class B, TUV, CCC, C-tick - Retail

Any tips?

TehMac, buy the 520hx here instead: http://www.buy.com/prod/corsai...loc/101/203270716.html

If you use the google checkout, it's only 80$. You could also get the 550vx, for 55$ using the google checkout, it's not modular though. Both sould be fine 🙂 Btw, this is all assuming you have a 'regular' rig, and not a SLI/Crossfire, dual CPU fancy kind of rig.

Do you care about modular cables? You can cut a bunch of money without modular cables. You can get better deals at places other than newegg too.

You can get that PSU you linked for $104 regular price at placed like Clubit, Buy.com and Zipzoomfly. Less than that wit rebates. You can also get the non-modular Corsair HX550 or Silverstone Element 500 Watt for under $100.

EDIT: You may want to try this on your current PSU first

No, I know it's dead. I tried that. Here's the thing guys, I don't like buy.com's shipping. Newegg has free shipping, but it's three days shipping, and I want this Friday or before.

So I'm probably going to use newegg.com. I'll keep buy.com in mind for the future, but this is somewhat of an emergency.

Well, turns out, I'm not completely set. 😛 Does this buy.com feature cords?

what do you mean? Does the PSU come with the cords? Of course it does, that is how Corsair ships it.

Well I got it off buy.com. The shipping looks iffy, because I weally weally want it. 🙁

But I guess I'll have to wait. Thank you MarcVenice for your recs. 😀

Good lord... Where did this inherent distrust for Buy.com come from?
