Like a lot of other posters, I wanted to get my comp up and running in a hurry. Talked to a service guy that said if the PSU didn't work, I could bring it back for a refund. Because I wasn't sure if that was the problem, I thought I had better go for it.
It works and was easy to install. Way over priced for an off brand unit but convenience often takes precedent over price.

Their big complaint was price. It is not a high quality PSU in their opinion and that is a concern for me.
If it gives me 3 more years on this 7 year old comp, I won't complain.
I recommend only on the basis of convenience. It's too early to tell if it was worth the money. You will hear from me if isn't.
