    EZcool PSU for old rig

    I've managed to kill my old psu on my old rig, so i need a new one, budget is £10, i know not much, but dont want to spend anything over that for an old rig!

    anyway was thinking of this: http://scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=136446

    Wondering how good the compnay is?

    dont expect much for £10 but hoping it wouldnt die straightaway or blowup!

    old spec of rig is on that drop down menu on the left.

    chers

    Agents trying to get some to test just how bad they are...

    They look the same to me. Not sure about the specs though, but it's cheaper on their site rather than from ebay. Choose the £1.99 delivery option and it comes to £7.0x

    I would get a hamster to run in a mill and power your PC, probably will run more stable than the EZCool PSU

    Re: EZcool PSU for old rig

    I suppose it's worth the risk on a rig that old (no offense). But it depends on how you rely on it. If you're gonna buy replacement parts if it does go boom then best invest a bit more to make sure you won't need to.
