These are OK, but not very energy efficient - thus no 80+ rating. There are ample connectors, in fact maybe more than needed for a power supply in this range. I really can't imagine powering anything but a passive graphics card with this.
My biggest problem with this power supply is the lack of an off/on switch. I know a lot of people wouldn't use that very often but I have a software testing suite consisting of 7 computers and I do like to switch the ones not in use off to save energy.
I decided to use this for hardware testing on my work bench rather than in the PC I'd hoped to use it in, but while they're on sale for about $20 they're hard to beat.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What is the complete list of connectors included

How many SATA connectors, how many PCI connectors, in short, how many of what type does this power supply have? this should be in the full specs.
1 X 20+4 pin main power connector
1 X 8 pin CPU connector (4+4 so can be used where only one 4 pin connector is needed)
3 X IDE connectors
4 X SATA connectors
1 X floppy connector
1 X 8 pin PCIE connector (6+2 so can be used as a 6 pin connector) I believe 520 watts is peak power so don't plan on powering a high end graphics card though

Power supply Dynex 520 takes a few minutes to turn on

I just replaced my power supply on my desktop is a Amd quad core with a Sata drive msi motherboard. After putting the power supply in, it didn't work right away. I rechecked and replugged power to motherboard and waited. After a few minutes it went on. It works fine now, but if I power off my tower and shut off my power surge it doesn't power up again. Then I have to open the tower again and wait few minutes. Do I have a defect power supply or does the computer have to stay on all the time?
I just purchased at best buy 2 day ago?
Sounds like it may be defective but you need to figure out why the old power supply failed - or did it fail? It wouldn't make sense to have to leave it powered up all the time.

Does this power supply work with intel pentium d cpu's?

A while ago I upgraded my dell dimension e520 from a intel dual core 1.83 Ghz to an intel pentium d 930 3.00 Ghz cpu. However, the model compatibility states that it works with dual-core and multicore CPUs. Would it still work with the cpu I currently have?
Yes, it should work fine.
