Thanks Startech. What's not to like. Received the unit in a couple of days. Easily installed in computer, computer works again.
My pc started right up with no virus or motherboard problems to speak of. I read a few reviews prior to buying, and other people mentioned drilling new screw holes in the tower, but that is not necessary. After spending $60.00, they told me it was the power supply, the motherboard, a virus, and that i should just buy a new pc.
I was able to use a few, but not all of them. I hope to get a few more years out of this pc now. It is very secure, even without using every screw.
I took my older pc to Best Buy ( geek squad ) to see if they knew why it would'nt start. The only problem i had was the screw holes in the tower did'nt match up good with the threads in the power supply housing. I give it 4 stars.
I did a little shopping on Amazon and found this power supply, so i decided to buy it and install it myself. I guess if i knew it was only a power supply i could of saved the money going to geek squad.
i had to drill holes in the pc housing to mate up the holes on the power source. If you have an older pc you mayhave the same problem with fit up. The product arrived in a timely manner and once installed worked very well. also the cord was in a diferent spot so the back cover doesn't fit back on the PC. however it was relatively inexpensive and my pc works once again. The only problem i encountered was it did not fit precisely into my PC. i have an older SONY VAIO and the screw holes did not match up.
Within a year it had failed completely. I installed this power supply as a replacement from Gateway. From the moment I installed it, it did not cool sufficiently.
There is no doubt in my mind the StarTech.com makes great products. What a great power supply.I removed my old defective unit and replaced it with StarTech.com's unit, What a difference in quality. The StarTech unit weighed a least 1 to 2 lbs more than the unit I removed.
