Oct 2009 at 11:03 I was looking for 1u PSUs a while back and found linitx.com have a good selection. Might find something there with a more palatable price tag. Kevin

Now Windows7 is chugging along nicely on a quite low spec machine down stairs as a media server, thought i would get the old miro one running again as a print server, a machine i had since 1999 is looking a bit ropey now Roll Eyes

For £30, you will get a poor PSU that will match a £10 case inc PSU. Only, believe it or not, as its hard to say anything good about a cheap case, the £10 case will have better cooling...

Not found a case for a tenner! PSU does not have to be anything special, its going to replace an aging print server.

PSU is a critical component for system stability. Cheap = poor quality = unreliable system (which people will naturally blame on Windows, rather than their poor hardware)

Its not worth spending decent cash for a more powerful PSU, i paid £8 for the standard ATX thats been on an old Tower, its ran fine (little noisey) but its been chugging along for about 2/3 years no doing its job

Never had any problems with it, running XP SP3

If its all lowish power stuff, cheap ones can work well for a couple of years. Though for £8, I'd be wanting a few case thrown in...

I have 5 of them, 3 the same model and 2 different ones. Never had a single hiccup with them. Also have 2 Soltek Qubics, takes 2 5.25 drives and hidden behind flaps, slightly bigger chassis. Never had a hiccup with either of those either. (Now sits back and awaits Jamie comment )
