Hows the Aspire 500watt?

I never had experiance with them all far as the quality of their products goes but it has enough amps on the rails it would seem. Low price for a 500W Psu.
 
I see theres some mix feeling with it. The ones that don't recommend it have you had any bad experiences or heard of any? Or are you not willing to try other brands than Antec,Sparkle,Enermax,ect?

I've read bad things about their cases, and the PSU looks ricey. Neither of those things convey the image of a manufacturer of quality goods to me. Maybe it's great, I don't know - and I'm not getting on your case for owning it. I just wouldn't touch it.
 
My problem was getting it to fit. me and my dad had to hold it in the right position and it took us about 3 hours to get it in. don't take my word for it, this ATX case is 4 years old. it's probably going to be diffrent for you

besides that, it's a great PSU.
 
3Dgameman gave it a kicka$$ score. He also gave the X connect and 100% kicka$$ score which I hear alot of ppl complaining about. I guess theres no fail safe PSU, one could prob die just as easy as the other.

Anyone thats using one could they post their system and how long they been running it with the PSU? I think I will get it to run my 3000+,NF4 and 6600GT system. But when I decide to O/C I think I will choose a Antec or something.
 
the first one i got just died out on me, rma'd it and now have another but its a fine psu, no problems with it. powers everything fine with my 3 harddrives, 4 case fans almost every pci slot used up and a 6800 way overclocked and i do like the way it looks but i ahve the blue one not into the other colors much o yea and the UV sensitive sleeves and power connectors are a good addition also
