JeanTech PSU

Hi,
As you have noticed from my thread below, my Hiper Type R PSU Blew up on me... So Instead of waiting another week or 2 to get it replaced, I was just going to goto "A big shop that sells overpriced parts" and grab one from their... I have noticed they have a Jeantech 450Watt PSU for £40 and might go and get one tomorrow. I just wanted to know, is JEANTECH any good?

Thanks

yea, but my Hiper died within 1 second of use which has sort of put me off... And I realy want to play games now and want to see if anymore damage has been done

Might just get the Jeantech... did a calcualtion and it said my system would use 280watt so I think a 450watt would be fine...

Damn, Even my No Brand £5 250watt PSU I bought from a computer fair 2 years ago has lasted Longer than my Hiper

Currently on a £5 Computer Fair PSU on my old computer (On im on now) and this has been going for 2 years!!... Which is Mad seen as its only 250watt and its powering Lots of stuff...

think I will just get it and get a refund on the Hiper, I just cant wait any longer

... I Realy liked the Hiper Design as well (The way the Cables are covered in that stuff to keep them nice and tidy) but I realy dont want to risk switching another one on without some bomb proof safety gear for myself

hehe...

At least if its from that "Big shop with over priced stuff" I could take it back and have a replacement / refund in 5 minutes without haveing to wait a week or so

Had a quick sniff and I can only smell Dead electronics on the PSU so hopefully the rest is fine.

personally I think the Cheap ones seem Best

... I cant beleive how my current £5 250watt one is managing to power the same setup for 2 years -

Mother Board
512MB DDR RAm
1700+ Athlon XP
2x IDE Harddrives
1x DVD Burner
1x DVDRom
2x Floppies
LCD Screen on front
Geforce 4200 128mb
Creative Sound Card
5x case fans

Mad

Anyway, Got the Jeantech £39.97 from that big shop

... Presonally after seeing their prices today, they dont seem that bad now for some things!!!! DFI Lan Party Nforce 4 Ultra SLi Motherboard Socket 939 for £59.99 !!! Wish I got that board now

hehe...

Will post the results

Update -

removed Type R... Their is Definatly Something loose in their, can here it rattling about...

also noticed that it looks VERY similar to the Hiper... Heck I bet they are all made in the same factory

OH YEA

... Got the JeanTech in and its Working Great

One good thing about the Hiper is they dont seem to kill anything else when they go bang

now to install All the drivers etc etc
