Hey, as some of you may know, I purchased an Optiplex 9010 to turn into a cheap gaming pc. I need to upgrade the PSU.
Not sure what would be most suitable, but here's a few links of some I've found on eBay and PCcasegear.
Please let me know if any, or all would be suitable. I want something cheap obviously, but also safe!
Thanks
Here's a few links:
Any alternative suitable suggestions would be great. Thanks!
Antic Basic 500w
Yes, with a name like that it's bound to play up. :)
Actually I have been lucky with Antec and Thermaltake. I think there are bound to be some duds now and then. My Thermaltake runs 24/7 as did my previous Antecs so no power cycle stress which may help.
I'm no expert on the Optiplex 9010 but check a standard sized PSU will fit without case hacking.

You're better off spending the extra $10 and getting the Corsair CX450 (if it fits):

A higher quality refresh of their old CX line
I ended up going with this Corsair. It's 1cm too long. It might hit the latch on the case, but I'll try and mod it or something.
I've had some very bad experiences with thermaltake and antec, very tiny sample size of me. Corsair is quite good, i havent heard of the rest before. Seasonic is my favourite brand though.
