The link you have provided lists a bunch of Rosewill PSU's. These are not very good.

Post your specs please.

You will want to invest in a PSU from a trusted brand like Silverstone, Antec, Thermaltake, etc. Look for at least 80% efficiency and active PFC. The PSU is the heart of your computer and is the absolute last thing you should be skimping on.

That page (linkalicious) is a page featuring a list of PSU's, not the one you are necessarily buying, so I can't really tell you anything about it.

As far as creating links, and other fun text related stuff associated with posting on B.net, I direct you here (bottom of page :).

Cheers.

You use "tards" and the wrong form of "there" in the same sentence... irony at its best. If you are going to criticize or insult people, at least do so intelligently and reasonably, or you will soon find yourself in a similar situation as the one you were originally criticizing. I find that many people who have sapient and discernable questions to ask regarding their computers usually display their information sufficiently. Though, it would be helpful if those with computer problems posted their "specs" outright, simply explaining the problem with their listed "specs" would be sufficient. Lastly, you needn't download a program to find out your computer specifications (though it may be helpful for some). If you have Window's XP, simply go to start>all programs>accessories>system tools>system information. I'm sure Window's Vista has a similar way to specify your components. There you can learn about, and become knowledgeably aware of the components your computer contains.

Cheers.

congrats, eat a grammar cookie and sit, nublet.
the reason why i dont like the MS specs is because it doesnt tell me everything, this will tell me everything from what OS you have and what you have plugged into the back of your computer, chipset manufacture and all sorts of stuff

and when i was calling them "tards" i ment to computer knowledge not -blam!- grammar ffs.

and if you actually got to know me i never spell their, their i spell it there because thats how i always have done it

Nublet? Please, grow up and have some self respect. The reasons why you don't like "MS specs," have nothing to do with other people using it. Yes, it may be inferior to other programs, but it essentially gets the job done. As far as calling people "tards," the semantics of meaning have nothing to do with saying it. The main fact that you said the word "tards," and then say (in this post) that you never use the correct form of "their" is not only, in my eyes, extremely ironic, but yet distastefully comical at the same time. Anyway, the main reason you got this reaction from me was because I, simply, don't like flamers. But, alas, I won't hold it against you in the future.

Cheers.

Oh and try not to injure the other few technologically informed people on these forums Bungie Jumping. It is bad enough when a horde of noobs gang up on one techy, let alone another techy.

He was talking to you, not me...

And to Desert Fox RWTF, I'm not sure what you're talking about in the 2 above posts, but don't double post. There is an edit button there for a reason :-)

Hopefully you didn't get a crap psu, when mine died, I'd figure I'd get a nice one so a.I didn't have to worry about upgrading to a nice one in 6 months, or b. I didn't have to worry about upgrading to a nice one when the crap one I bought died.
