I am building my pfsense router and one thing that i am kinda stuck on is a PSU. I have a old turbolink atx-tl500w-bk psu, but can I trust this not to catch on fire? It will be in my attic running 24/7, is this a bad idea? thanks!

If you put that thing in your attic it will probably catch fire.

This is a review for the 450w version: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/apevia-turbolink-atx-tl450w-bk-power-supply-review/

Apparently it only delivered 240w and exceeded the noise and ripple levels allowed by the ATX12v specifications.

Do yourself a favor and get a quality unit that wont burn your roof off.

P.S make sure to put smoke detectors/temp monitors up there if you haven't already.
