That PSU doesn't look very impressive to me. 550w with a 12v rail thats as low as most 350w PSU's and the other rails don't look impressive either.

Actually the PSU has two 12V rails with a total of 36 Amps and it has active PFC. If you can find out who actually makes the thing, we might be able to tell if the specs might be worth the paper they're written on... You can tell who makes the thing by looking up the UL file no. (e.g. E123456) at http://www.ul.com.

. And when did BF Goodrich start making electronics products? ;)

Still its an FSP, specs look like a FSP550 that is slightly modified...basically has the same 528W max output for +3, +5 and +12V rails. But slighly stronger 3.3+ and 5V rails at the expense of the 12V rails.
All and all still excellent specs on the PSU. $450 is a nice deal for that bundle.
