"If there's one underappreciated system component,
it's the power supply."
— Maximum PC
When buying a computer most people do not give much thought to the power supply due to it's "low-tech nature" but they can often be the most vital. You see, the power supply is responsible for keeping all of your PC's flashy goodies fed with ample quantities of steady, clean power. A bad power supply could also cause other parts of your system to fail. Without a good power supply, your system could be reduced to a mess of crashes and instability.

CompSolve only installs brand name quality
power supplies into each new computer that we build.
We have all seen those ads for unbelievable low cost computers. How do they sell them so low? Well one way is they install cheap power supplies in their computers. You can buy a power supply that is rated at 300 watt for $100. You can also buy another power supply that is also rated at 300 watt for $20. What's the difference? It is difficult to tell by looking or reading the labels. To be accurate, you will need an instrument to measure it. Roughly, you might be able to tell by the weight. Yes, by the weight! Faked 300W power supply has the similar weight as a 200W power supply. Real 300W power supplies are much heavier than the 200W power supplies, due to the heatsink is larger, and components must be able to handle larger current.
CompSolve realizes that buy spending a little more now on a quality power supply you eliminate many potential problems down the road.
