 EVGA - W1 Series 600W ATX 12V/EPS 12V 80 Plus Power Supply - Black
EVGA - W1 Series 600W ATX 12V/EPS 12V 80 Plus Power Supply - Black
When building on a budget, the EVGA 600W 80 PLUS is a great choice at a low cost. Supporting 49A on a single +12V rail provides more options without having to reduce your component requirements. Save space with the 600W's compact design, well­placed power switch and fully sleeved cables. The 600W offers the connections and protections needed for basic system builds. With a standard 3 year warranty and ultra quiet fan design the 600W will be a great asset for your next build on a budget.
 
Simply the best

I have purchased literally dozens of PC power supplies over the years. This is simply the best that I've seen. Looks solid, feels solid, very quiet, and features abundant connectors. The 600 Watt is more than enough for most units, considering manufacturers like HP, Dell, Lenovo only come with 300 or so watt.
This is a standard power supply, and will not work with specific units such ad Dell OptiPlex 780 that requires slots at the top. You may need adapters to use on Lenovo desktops that use non-standard connectors, and may be too large for some HP units.

I have had and loved AOC monitors for years and they are great. I bought one of these about a couple of months ago, I was so impressed I went back and bought 2 more. AOC is the only brand that I've been able to tweak the colors to my liking.
The i-Menu, Screen+ and e-Saver software greatly simplify setup but are no longer included with the purchase. You'll have to download from the web site. VGA cable in included, not HDMI.
Some reviews have mentioned that these monitors feel flimsy, maybe true to some extent but none of the 8 or so that I have bought so far has broken or had any problem in any way. I miss the "Touch- Key" feature that the e2343 series had. Nothing else.

Hi , Can I use this on a 240v electric line? Usually many high end power supply has 120v/230v switch on it

I think so. Specification on the enclosed manual says "AC Input 100-240VAC 10/5A, 50-60HZ"

Will this fit in a HP 1414 Envy desktop?

I don't think so. I have an HP Envy desktop but its power supply is smaller than this and there's not much space to put in an standard power supply.

No it does not. I wish it did, but I've not seen that in any monitor recently. The I-Menu, Screen+, and e-Saver software help. You'd have to download them from the AOC web site.
