I can't seem to find any reviews, except a lone one on Newegg.

What you are reading on NewEgg are not reviews!!
They are customer comments that need to be taken with a grain of salt.

Also personally most basic PSU`s have a MTBF of 100,000 hrs at 25c or 40c or 50c.....depending on the brand!!

Environmental
? Operating temperature: 0°C to 40°C
? Storage temperature: -20°C to 70°C
? MTBF: >50,000 hrs at 80% load , 25°C ambient

I would probably look at a fortron at that $39.99 price for a few more dollars you can get a rock solid Fortron PSU...

Never scrimp on the most important component in your computer. Its just not worth the hassle.

Good Luck!!

Nothing so far, don't be the first until there's more on the NET. Buy a Fortron 450W PSU on Newegg.

Heh, a 12V @ a mere 18A & only 50,000+ MTBF?

I'd stay far away, far far away.

The FSP mentioned above = much better choice.

Wow, MSI is really trashing their reputation with crap like that.

Well, it wasn't for me, well, not for a personal system, one for resell. 😀

Problem for me is that customers who are buying my PC's don't know who/what Fortron is, they'd think it was crap. So, I usually stick with Antec PSU's in my builds.

Not as easy as it sounds, I do business over Ebay.

I believe that for repeat business, you got to do things the best way, because some people you'll never satisfy.

Give them cheap and you in for a world of hurt. They'll blame you for everything under the sun when something goes wrong.

My philosophy is to build them like you're building for yourself and you'll get better results. No cheap stuff. In essence, they
come to you for your expertise, your clients don't know better. Boy, are you going to get it when something goes wrong.

Do and you're wrong and don't you're still wrong. Another direction.
Just make sure if you're ordering or buying for your clients, develop some sense of patience and after service.

Help them by phoning on their dime when it comes to talking to service depts. They don't know better. Less frustration.

You do this, right, but what the heck, you know all this stuff anyhow.........
