Looks like a good deal.
The numbers might be inflated a little, but if you only need to
replace a cheap generic PS, it'll probably work fine.
Anyone use one of these recently?
 
interesting, any comment mindless1? Somebody is going to post here saying 12v line is too low, but as far as reliability, I wonder what the link is btwn Chieftec & Antec, since they seem to be OEM brander for Antec....
 
Somebody is going to post here saying 12v line is too low....

I'd say it depends. I'm using an ECS K7S5A (a bit out dated, I know). It seems to need a high 3.3V. My current ps only has 3.3V @ 14A and the voltages run around 3.17 or as low as 3.10. Otherwise, it's good having 12V @ 15A and 5V @ 28A. (I just ordered the Mad Dog 350W PS from CompUSA for $10 after $35 rebate. Couldn't find specs for the amps but I'm hoping it's better than what I've got 🙂)

I guess all/most other systems need power for 12V?
 
Did some Googling, came up with this company called High Power, specs look the same, except a possible typo - the -5V and -12V current ratings are interchanged. Nice MTBF rating, if this is the same supply as the Chieftec.

"Supports all ATX 2.01, ATX 2.03 & Intel P4 (12V) systems"

"*+5V +3.3V combined output should not exceed 220W"

MTBF Life Expectancy of this model:
100,000 hours* (11 years & 2 months)

I went ahead & ordered 2 of these.
I'm replacing a
Model: LPF2N 300 watt
Made in Thailand
The casing is thin galvanized steel.
It still runs, but the motherboard died & I don't want to test a new motherboard with it.
At least the fan still runs in it.😀
