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).

I have a BFG 650watt PSU, I got it as a replacement after my enermax died, the BFG has been good.

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......

Don't have any experience with BFG.
