is In-Win power supply any good?

[zener]

Last Saturday Mwave, Walnut CA, had a parking lot sale. I pickup a few Inwin IW-S523B cases for $5 bucks each. Although their power supply of 300w seems running fine with one of my rigs (xp2000, asus a7v333, ATI 9700, seagate 72 gig scsi 15krpm), I am not familar with this type of PS. Anybody has any experience with it? Thanks,

At one time (maybe they still do?) Inwun used Powerman which was a Sparkle.

I bought an Inwin q2000 tower case and it came with a 300 W PSU, and it was lousy. my Asus A7V T-Bird 800 never ran stable with that PSU. I gave it to my sister in her K6-3 450 and it worked fine.

i have used about 15 or so inwin cases and the powersupplies that come w/ i have never had a single problem running the computer with them. Now i haven't built any really recent computers, but the older ones had several harddrives etc and still ran fine. my suggestion is unless you are gonna fill up all your drive bays and stuff it should be fine...

Note: i just looked at your rig that you have running there w/ one of them and wow, that is really pushing the powersupply's capabilities, but if it runs fine i wouldn't worry about it...
