i have found HiPro to be a relatively reliable brand. my gateway computer came with one, and it worked flawlessly for 3 years, until i replaced it the other day with a higher power MSI model. my parents old Gateway computer also had a Hipro model, with no problems. it is a cheap but reliable brand. however, i wouldnt reccomend to buy one, just because there are still better ones. what other hardware do you have in your computer? i reccomend these brands. Antec, Thermaltake, Enermax, Coolermaster, Corsar, and OCZ. Let me know which Processor, graphics card, hdd, and motherboard you have and i will reccomend a psu for you

Morning all or good evening to some..

Also if you have a powerful system or a semi powerful one it is going to be hard to get one for under 60.00
I used Hipro once and it did not die on me.
Best out there is PCP&P but they are pricey.
The one place NOT to be cheap on is the psu.. It is the life blood of your system.
If you get a heap one you can only harm your system. It is the most important piece on your pc.

For a couple bucks more this one is good. Rosewill is a good company. I actualy have one in one of my systems just not this one..
