Was this a good purchase?

Post by Epyon »

My Antec NeoPower 550W just died last night, managed to pick up BFG 550W GX, for $57 + tax.

Does anyone else here have the same one? I've never owned a BFG PSU before, I've owned one of their video cards (didn't even know they made PSUs until recently).

Usually, you ask that prior to buying it.

Maybe so but if your only one failed and you don't have a backup and you're in a hurry......
