Those are really good power supplies for the price. I have used three of them in basic builds for friends with no issues so far.

Still not convinced with the CX range. TX or above for me!
The Silverstone Strider 400W for instance comes with two 6 Pin PCI-E connectors which shows a little more confidence in their power supplies ability long term?

Y poo? Because only 400W? If you have a 130W chip and one graphics card, why do you need more. How much juice can RAM and a couple HDs really require? One PCIe is fine also, right?

Enjoy your Channelwell PSU: http://www.tomshardw...rer,2913-5.html
(Don't know if that's good or bad, just had to know what it *really* was)
My favorite deal was on the Antec (Seasonic) Neo Eco 620W that Newegg had a rebate for that made it $30

Y poo? Because only 400W?
No not because of the wattage, it could be 1500w for all I care.
A poor unit is a poor unit, It doesn't matter if the Corsair logo is on it or not, that thing is no better than most generic horseshit PSU's.

I had the CX500 PSU in a build. Was quite good. Don't know what all the hate is about. For $26 it was a steal.

Yes, I know what a question mark is and you got the answer. Which was, no its not because of the wattage.

I'm not being smarmy, I'm asking what makes it a poor unit? Is it inefficient, unreliable, will it kill my mobo or CPU with power spikes, or what?
I mean it's a 80 plus bronze cert PSU...seems OK to the uninformed (ie me).
