Has anyone heard anything about Nspire power supplies? Are they decent? My local warehouse stocks the 420W model and I've installed them in a few PC's. They've been running for about a month now without a problem. They seem pretty good with a fairly thick guage of wire. They seem to be fairly heavy too. If anyone could post links to reviews or offer an opinion it would be greatly appreciated.

We'll do. It's unfortunate that case manufacturers put the absolute worst power supplies in their cases! Yes, the cases are cheap but now I have a room full of power supplies I wouldn't dare give to my customers. My local warehouse doesn't stock cases without power supplies and I hate paying (albeit not much) for these useless pieces of crap.

Nspire is the house name for many products sold by the wholesaler ASI. Have placed the power supplys in about sixty or so customers pc's over the past 18 months and had only one fail ( they don't work well with coffee in them) Will let you know how far past the 2 year warranty We get with them but seem to be a stable and reliable PS so far.

I purchased the Nspire NS750 in February 2007, and currently am running an Asus Crosshair m/b with an X2 6000 at 3.3gz, 4 gigs of adata extreme edition DDR2@890mz, HIS Radeon 4870 Iceq 4 Turbo video card and two Samsung spinpoint 640 meg hd, as well as a Soundblaster Audigy 2zs Gamers edition audio card. I have tweaked the mainboard to extract every once of power out of my CPU and video card, and the power suppy is unfazed. The PSU is 2 1/2 years old and its never caused me any concern. Other than pushing hardware too far and the bsd's associated with that its been the best performing PSU I've had, and that includes Enermax (POP!) which is what this PSU replaced. Fit and finish on it is above average, 140mm fan keeps it cold and the rails are solid on my current overclock, cpu at 3.3gz and video card is at 815 core and 4100 memory. Machine never shuts down, I don't even think, I just push my enter key and its all good.

Hope this helps you

I also have the 750 xtreme modular unit and other then the fan bearing finally getting noisy this thing is a tank and has powered several generations of my builds that now includes a quad core AND, 3870x2 video card 5 hard drives, 6 burners, etc. The voltage is dead stable and the thing just works well. I finally found a dead one and robbed the same fan out of it and the thing is dead quiet again. It uses a Yate Loon D14BM-12 with a true roller bearing and I guess mine just finally dried up and got full of dirt even though it still continued to work. You can find these for way under 100 bucks with some quick searching too. I'd bet if anyones fan gets noisy they could just as well clean and relube the tiny bearing and it'd be as good as new too.
