Is Kingwin a trustable brand?

I may need to upgrade my powersupply, but I really cant spend ~$100 on a new unit. The local computer store has some Kingwin ATX2.0 units for a fair price. 450w, 28a I believe. Are they decent, though?

Never heard of them

They may not sell products in Canada.

That could explain why I've never heard of them either.

I would not buy from them. I have never heard of them and I know alot of company names.

It puts out the power I need. It cant be all that bad. I only run 1 optical drive and one sata drive.

I really can't tell you, a few things you should ask before you buy though.

Get the store to hook one up for you and use motherboard monitor 5 to check out the rails, if they are 5% over or under where they should be or are bouncing around like crazy you shouldn't bother with such a power supply.

Also, just pick it up. Any solid power supply will have good weight to it.

Maybe i'll give it a go, then take it back if it doesn't work. Im just really pressed to get something affordable to use until I can afford a good Fortron, etc.
