This is the same power supply that I replaced in my computer. My original worked for approx. seven years and hoping to get the same mileage out of this one. It is easy to install and so far no issues.
I ordered this as an exact replacement for my current power supply that burnt out. Upon installation I found the wiring harness is shorter and could not connect the power to my motherboard. Am returning it for a refund.
These Allied 300W power supplies do not work well when there is a small load applied, and in fact shut off in that situation. This is a problem when using them to power single devices outside a computer such as tape or hard drives.
My power supply in my iBuyPower desktop computer died so I ordered the exact same model to replace. Oddly enough the power cables were significantly shorter and would not reach to the motherboard in the ATX case. I had to order 8 inch extenders for both the 24 Pin and 4 Pin cables. Besides that, the unit has worked well and I've experienced no problems since installing it three months ago.
I purchased this in order to repair my wife's ailing PC when the old one died but I found out after installing what I thought was the exact replacement that it wouldn't communicate with the motherboard as it was a "switching" power supply that had separate 12v power for the newer multi-core processors. (Even though it had the EXACT model number as its predecessor). It's a decent, basic power supply but if you are only replaceing a blown older PS be forewarned - This may not won't work with your older MB. It ended up that I decided to upgrade the rest of the computer as a result which ended up being a good thing (if a little more expensive than I intended.)
What can you really say about a replacement power supply. It fit the case I was installing it in, had all the connectors I needed, and is relatively quiet. Can't speak to longevity yet as it has only been running for a couple of weeks. Good price for your basic replacement Power Supply.
Received the PS today and box was correct....but PS inside the box was not! This is why i don't normally order from an online store because the pic and description is not what u get.
