I have a 1.4 thunder bird, 4 IDE devices, 3 USB/used 3 USB/Free devices, a blue cold cathod sound activated light, a geforce 2 Ti AGP graphics card, and a NIC.

The PSU is a L&C Model: DR-A425ATX
+3.3V=30A
+5V =40A
+12V =15A
-12V =.08A
-5V =.05A
+5VSB=2A
so combinded loadfor+5V&+3.3V is 210 Watts
and Max is 425 does this sound like a decent PSU I know its not a name brand but how does it compare?
 
Performance wise, it's adequate and falls in line with what you would get with any other generic brand. The only thing that makes me hesitant is the L&C is really manufacturered by DEER, who has not been known to make reliable PSUs in the long term, especially their 300w and above models.

Admittedly though, DEER has come a long way within the last year in terms of tightening up their quality control. Allied brand PSUs of late have been getting generally high marks from end users, these are also relabeled DEERs.
 
As long as the voltages don't fluctuate and are close to the values they should be at, you'll have no problem. Whether or not this is the case, only testing will be able to show. How long the power supply will last is a better question though, and one that I don't have an answer for.
