This product looks good. Considering it has a 12 month parts/labor warranty I don't think you really have anything to worry about. While looking at the chart it seems it can handle a decent load as the amps under +3.3V, +5V and +12V all look fairly decent. However, I feel I should throw in my personal opinion. I have ordered from Tiger Direct in the past with no problems, but have heard MANY who have had problems with items and the company giving them the run-around when they asked to return it for another product. I would go through www.newegg.com for better prices and service. Personally I purchased this:

This is one of the items I got through Tiger Direct with no problems, this was before I read reviews of people who had problems with them. AeroCool has great customer service however, so even if TigerDirect wouldn't take it back, you could still get AeroCool to replace/repair it for free. Just save your reciept. Hope that helps.

thanks for the heads-up, microbell!

of course, since the psu is one of the most important things in the computer, it's always good to go namebrand, like :

Antec
ThermalTake
Enermax
Fortron

well microbell i took ur advice.. i mean even to start with when i first looked at the product i was a lil suspicious thats why i posted it here.. i mean just the lack of reputation (any type good or bad for that matter) turned mee off.. well anyways ive decided on a diablo psu... u can see it at the following link

He was saying he can't order from newegg because he lives in Canada.
