There are more people than we will ever know who have el cheapo PSU`s and will never tell a soul they are having no problems whatsoever....
The true bottom line is....
As long as you have a power supply that can handle the mobo...cpu....h/d etc you should actually have no problems!!
What I have come up against is the person who is so cheap he wont buy a PSU that can handle the equipment he is using!
Why purchase a 350 watt PSU when you really need a 420 watt or better?
Many times I have had friends tell me they bought the latest and greatest Video card and now there computer seems to not be working correctly.
After a few pointed questions such as was your computer working correctly before you bought the card etc....
Its real easy to understand that the PSU was the issue....
Yet with that said....
What proof is there as in articles etc,, stating that a name brand PSU is preferable over a no name brand?
I have read even on these forums and other forums that even the cheapo PSU are made by the same manufacturers as most name brand PSU?
Even in the cheapo PSU`s.....there are basic minimum standards that must be adhered to....
So again my question is.....where the absolute 100% proof?
Finally my best friend has a wife and 6 kids who love to wear good clothes and eat and have a roof over there heads.....thus computer parts if needed are a very low priority.
He recently bought this PSU and has had no problems running his system......why?
His system is fairly high end seeing as how his wife and kids got it for him within the last year and YES it probably was the PSU that came with the whole set up!

I understand there is something to be said for having a high quality PSU?
I also understand that the jury is still deliberating as to whether Dual +12V or a single +12v?
Thus my main point being how much of this is conjecture verses absolute 100% fact?
Inquiring minds want to know?
