What's great about it: Good amount of connectors for most PCs.
What's not so great: It's a little more expensive than an equivalent model online.
This power supply does exactly what it should and isn't too noisy. It is a little higher priced than it should be, but it is very convenient to be able to swing by a Best Buy store and pick one up without having to wait for one to be shipped from an online store in order to save about $10. Good basic power supply that should work in just about any modern PC unless you have one of the latest, high powered graphics cards.

What's great about it: Quiet operation
My computer was hit with a power surge and knocked out the original power converter. This is the one that was recommended by Geek Squad. So far it has worked better and quieter then the original converter from Gateway.

Old power supply bit the dust and had to replace it. Use this brand on another computer that the power supply bit the dust and had no problems why not use the same brand on this one.

What's great about it: Easy to install, price
What's not so great: Nothing stands out
The power supply replaced a HP power supply that just gave up, the connectors are easy to use, the only limitation is that the cables are strapped together and you have to unclip them but it was easy. The entire process took 5 minutes.

Make certain you have enough room in your case to fold the unused connectors and cables back in, and out of the way.

What's great about it: cheap
What's not so great: might not last longer than a piece of fruit
After replacing the p/s the first time i thought id be set for a while, 7 months later and its dead. I've had power supplies last decades so this is completely unacceptable. good news is its still under warranty now if there is another choice :/

I purchased this at Best Buy when my PC stopped running. After evaluation by Geek Squad, all I needed was a new power supply, and I was up and running. Great price that didn't break the bank. My computer runs quieter than it did before.
