I bought this a few weeks ago in order to build my parents a computer. Well two things happened, they got themelves a new computer and I bought a new car. So they don't need a new computer and I don't have the money to build a computer anyway. It is brand new, I dont have the box because I had put it into an Antec 300 case in preparation to put everything together and threw away the box. Its warranty is still good. I am pretty sure it is for 3 yrs. I am asking $30 for it which is much less than newegg. Its model number is EA380, it is 380 watts but can handle plenty of computer. I am running the same power supply in my girlfriends computer with a Intel quad core 6600 and a 9600 GT video card. This is also very energy efficient and will probably pay for itself within a few months for people with computers which are always turned on.

how in god's name is that thing even remotely stable on a 380 watt power supply?

take a look at your 12v rail, you might be surprised

well, it has been extremely stable for me, it ran through memtest86 and some other tests I ran before I gave it to her. It wasn't overclocked before I gave it to her, but last time I was on her computer I tried bumping up the FSB on it to see what I could get it to. I got it to 3.0 ghz and ran it at that for a while. I didn't run any tests on it but it seemed stable for what i could tell in the hour I was on it. Look at what people are running on this power supply, it has served me well on her computer and I would trust it.

the 9600GT peaks at 240 watts
the 6600 peaks at 95-105 depending on the model

you're already at at least 335 watts, and that's without the hard drives, motherboard components, cd drives, and pci cards

how, exactly, do you justify that working well with a 380 watt peak power supply?

alright man it runs stable and has for 6 months now, so I honestly don't know why you're trying to bash me. I didn't go and try to say it can run an Intel i7 chipset and quad SLI, I stated what I have running on the same power supply at this very moment. So if you would please let me have some constructive posts without you trying to bolster your post count that'd be awesome...

lol, n00b pwnt

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say 380W is probably a conservative thermal rating at 50 deg C ambient, and a continuous maximum rather than a peak rating as well. As long as she's not running it in a boiler room it more than likely maintains it's voltage within spec and obviously is stable under synthetic loads, give the guy a break

troll much, or are you seriously thinking this?

I've got a Dell with the Q6600 and a 9800GT. I'm running a SMP client on the proc and a GPU client on the 9800GT, 24X7 100% CPU usage and 100% GPU usage....all powered by a no-name 300W power supply.

not to mention i bet his girlfriend doesn't even approach maxing out the cpu/gpu anyway
