PSU Review Mk II.

Allright. i want all you decent folks out there (and the indecent ones *grin*) to send me your powersupply specifications.

lets find out what are good brands, and what are not!

dont know how?

open your case and somewhere on the psu it should have a sticker with numbers on it.
if you could, please try to give me as much as you can of the following information.

a. Rated Wattage (300W, 350W etc)
b. 3.3V line current (A)
c. 5V line current (A)
d. 12V line current (A)
e. 3.3V & 5V lines combined rated wattage (W)
f. physical weight of the unit
g. number of 4pin molex connectors
h. number of small 4 pin FDD connectors
i. does it have 2 extra plugs for the Pentium4?
j. design, i.e. 1 or 2 fan unit, temp monitoring with our without probe, anything else of note.

thanx.

results so far (limited i know)

given my experiences, and the review/rant that toms put out aweek or so back, i wanted to find out how our PSU's rated.

For those out there considering a generic PSU. compare the following figures. Remeber, its current on each line thats important.

Enhance 250W (generic) - single fan.
1 mobo connector.
4 molex.
1 fdd.
3.3V = 14A
5.0V = 26A
12V = 9A
3.3V + 5V = 130W max.
Physical weight, inc cables = 1350g

Enermax 250W
twin fan.
3.3V = 22A
5.0V = 25A
12V = 13A
3.3V + 5V = 145W max
physical weight ~ 1600g

Omni 300W (generic)
single fan
3.3V = 16A
5.0V = 30A
12V = 9A
3.3V + 5V = 180W
physical weight = 900g (yes thats right, 900g. not even 2 pounds, including calbes.)

Enermax 300W
dual fan
p4 ready
3.3V = 28A
5.0V = 30A

physical weight ~ 1700g

Enermax 550W dual fan 80mm+92mm with temp dependance.
11 molex connectors, 1 FDD, Pentium4 ready.
3.3V = 40A
5.0V = 46A
12V = 24A
3.3V + 5V = 240W
physical weight ~ 2200g (to be fair the cables are much longer and add significantly to the weight)

MCM 300W (Generic)
3.3V = 7A
5.0V = 14A
12V = 6A

Codegen 350W (generic)
trying to find out
