This is a great power supply to have around the house. Imagine it, your power supply just cut out and there is no resurrection. The stores will more than likely be closed, but if you had a power supply like this around the house you can at least get your computer running again.
The one caveat I have with this power supply is it being only 400 watts. Not bad to use in a older pc. But if you have a huge machine with a graphics card to match.. you may want to make sure this would be able to power it on.

Recently I was having trouble with my older HP Pavilion desk top running Windows XP. I was convinced that I needed to reload Windows because it would lock up, reboot, automatically go to advanced boot, or just turn off after attempting to turn it on. After doing some research online, I discovered it was probably the power supply. That didn't really surprise me too much because it was the original power supply making it about 11 yrs old. I tested the power supply and discovered that some of the outputs were outside the given parameters...voltages were lower than specified. After conferring with the Geek Squad at Best Buy and explaining the symptoms to them, they directed me to the DYNEX 400WATT ATX POWER SUPPLY.
Installation was very simple and my puter booted right up and appears to be cured. The fan runs so quietly that you can barely hear it at all, and at 400 watts it will easily outperorm the original 250watt power supply.
What's great about it: Price, ease of installation, compatibility.
