<br>
Would much rather spend money on a quality ups. Only once in 30 plus years has a power supply caused issues.<br>
<br>
However, I have been purchasing Seasonic ultra quiet PSU's the last 8 years. Quiet is more important than anything else to me these days. <br>
<br>
Plus none of my systems requires more than 150 watts of power so those huge 750 watt power supplies are a complete waste in my environment. If you stay away from AMD desktop CPUs and Intel Core i7 CPUs then the power requirements are much less.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 25 February 2016 17:37:44 GMT-05:00, Jim Kinney <jkinney@jimkinney.us> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

NEVER use a crappy, cheap, light in<br />weight, power supply no matter what the sticker says it is rated at. I<br />once<br />knew of a vendor of computer parts in Norcross who had power supplies<br />without stickers and put what ever sticker on the power supply that the<br />customer wanted (back in those days something like 150, 200 or 250<br />Watt) on<br />the same supplies. I expect the quality of even crappy power supplies<br />is<br />better now than then (nearly 30 years ago), but when it comes to power<br />supplies, you pretty much get what you pay for and heavier power<br />supplies<br />have more capacity to maintain the rated output, esp in noisy AC supply<br />environments.<br /></blockquote><br
