This power supply did the job and got my computer back online in a hurry. It fit the chassis perfectly and simply plugged into all the devices in the computer. I recommend leaving the old power supply connected and replacing the plugs one by one with those from the new unit.

Not only did the supply work, it was easy to install, a lot quieter than the PowMax that fried, and it arrived 3 days after I ordered it with super saving shipping.
Cool.

Purchased end of June 2005, had no problems with it until this week: It simply failed, without any warning.
With all of the computers I've owned/used over the years, I never had a power supply fail. Hopefully mine was an isolated experience.
Amazon were very good about arranging a refund.

Purchased this item to replace the 200 watt unit in my HP Pavilion 742n bought back in 2002. The old unit was working fine but I replaced the motherboard with one with a faster CPU that required a minimum of 230 watts. At first, I thought that I was going to have to return it. The old unit was 4 inches long and this unit is 5 1/2 inches long. When I installed it, it was so close to the DVD ROM that the wiring was smashed up against it. This tower originally came with both a CD ROM and DVD ROM. I had already replaced the CD ROM with an HP 1140i DVD/CD writer Lightscribe unit. I noticed that it was shorter and didn't have a clearance issue like the DVD ROM. I don't use the DVD ROM and didn't really need it since I got the 1140i so I just removed it. Problem solved! I'm glad that I was able to get it to fit. The safety features of this unit give me added peace of mind. It has 6 four pin molex connectors, 2 more than the original unit, which came in handy. I was using a splitter with the original unit to power a PCI slot cooling fan and exhaust fan. The unit is very quiet. Overall, I'm very pleased with this item.

Unit is well built & fits well. It comes with all cables required. The price is good. I purchased and installed the unit to replace a OE power supplied that was failing in an older PC.

Needed a direct replacement for my desktop and this worked out fine. Easy to install and my pc is back up and running. This StarTech would have gotten 5 stars, but it is the same type is what broke down originally, in a storm where no other electrical devices failed. I had to upgrade my surge protection.

My old computer lives! The power supply was very easy to install and came with more than enough connectors for my computer set up. It fit my computer case perfectly. It is very quiet and exactly what I needed. Thank you so much for providing a great product!

Had the new power supply installed and my HP Pavillion up and running in 10 minuites or less. I don't know how long it will last but so far so good.

I consider it of good quality for the price. It meets my need for a basic replacement power supply. Although it could be quieter, but is by no means noisy.

im so happy i found this and for a great price, i now have a working desktop computer again :)
