Hello,
First off i am trying to get two power supplies because i want to change my old one and to get a new one for a new PC configuration as well.
The old PC configuration is:
- Intel Celeron D 3.06 Ghz socket 7750 95W TDP Processor;
- Asrock Conroe D667 1333 R1.0 Motherboard;
- Inno3d Geforce 8400 GS 256 MB with Turbocache (512 MB) Video Card;
- 3 GB RAM running at 667 Mhz (one 1GB and the other is 2GB that could run at 800Mhz but is limited by the Motherboard and the other memory module);
- A 160 GB SATA II Hard Disk;
- A 2030 RPM Silverstone case fan;
- Old DVD Writter;
The new PC configuration is:
- Amd Athlon II x4 740 socket FM2 65W TDP Processor;
- MSI FM2-A55M-E33 Motherboard;
- Saphire Radeon 7750 1GB GDDR5 Video Card;
- 4 GB RAM 1333 Mhz Zeppelin (1 module);
- A 500 GB SATA III Toshiba Hard Disk with 32 MB buffer memory;
- A 2030 Silverstone Case fan;
- No optical drive;
Now my budget is really limited and i am trying to get a power supply in the 30 dollar range. The one i have in this old PC is 5 or 6 years old and its a cheap chinese no name called DanaByte that i got for like 15 dollars, fortunately it still works.
Also i don't plan on upgrading this PC in the next two years, eventually i will buy a new one then.
These are the power supplies i found in the 30 dollar price range (link included):
- Inter-Tech SL-500A 500W for exactly 30 dollars

- RPC 500LBL 500W for 27 dollars
Except i didn't find any info about it online except 500W / ATX12V2.3 / Connectors: 3x SATA, 1x PATA, 1x 6+2pin PCI-e, 1x FDD, 1x MB 20+4pin, 1x CPU 4pin +12V / 35cm cables / 120mm Fan / Protections : OVP & UVP & SCP & OPP / Bulk + 1,2M power cord.
- Floston FL500 Extra for about 35$
Again with not too many web sites about it:Type:ATX; Power: 500 W; Fans: 1x 120 mm; PFC Active; Efficiency: 76 %; Modular: NO;

Molex 3
Floppy 1
And last but not least Zalman LE Series 400W for 36$

Ok i did read an article on Tom's Hardware about power supplies and the actual manufacturers but i consider that if Zalman can make a PSU for such a low price it wont be with good quality materials either.
I really liked the Inter-Tech because like i said i wont upgrade my PC in the near or far future especially not my video card and i am really limited on my budget.
Even if i get the Zalman for my new PC i will opt for something Cheaper for the older one.
What do you think of these power supplies and which one would you consider most (between the ones listed there)?
Thank you for your patience.
