I'm assuming name brands are better, but what makes them better?
My main concern in a power supply is noise. What is wrong with my thinking that I could save some $$ by just buying a generic unit and swapping fans with a better (Panaflo) one? But I'm thinking that there must be some other difference besides the fan.
Would this solve any problems I'd run into with a generic unit...Let's say that if I was going to buy a name brand unit I was going to opt for a 300watt. Now would going for a 350watt generic unit (which would be cheaper than a 300watt name brand) ensure against any problems?
Then there's product life. Do name brand units last longer?
As you can probably tell I'm a cheap bastard.
