gud enough??? i dont have specs for powersafe
 
I'd go with CoolerMaster. No real reason...just feel that it is a better brand vs PowerSafe or Zebronics. Those Zebby ratings look rather inflated IMO.
 
A friend bought a Zeby 500W psu for 1300 bux seems to be very solid and well build.
I guess this should be better than the Powersafe 500W which is really a L&C oem :bleh:

I have one the Build Quality sucks Big time..
 
That Zebby's specs seem very low. My Powersafe 400W that I bought 2 years ago has 20A on the 12V rail while this has just 17A and it costs a lot more !

I think the Powersafe 500W has dual rails. But I suppose if you can find a Coolermaster 500W it should be better as far as build quality and performance is concerned as I heard that Powersafe PSUs are not actually dual rail.

Err...
Please do let me know how you calculated that?:S

Since the CM extreme power 600 is not true 600W but a retweaked 500water, v.i.z the seventeam ST-500-BKP; i fear the CM exreme power 500 might be a similar gimmick.:(

Be kind enough and please list out your PC specs.:)
also do yourself a favour by investigating why your psu blew up.:cool2:
There is nothing (especially cheap) that is definiely reliable.:cool2:
But you may take your pick from the seventeam ST-500-BKP or the CM extreme power 600.:)

I just want a sturdy 500w psu which powersafe looks like:cool2: .....If i were to go by your specs i wud never have a pc:huh: . Cmon! we all act like having a PC which is not C2D ,cellshock,8800 gtx etc is a crap:no: ....in short we create a need for anything which is premium.
 
The Powersafe 500W with a 18A single rail is the old model. The newer revision has to have more power on the 12V rail (its 17A + 17A dual rails). But if you are spending so much might as well go for the Coolermaster.
