More power supplies should be built like this.

Most power supplies these days use cheap capacitors, even if the rest of the unit is well made.

This one was designed for continuous heavy server use without losing any performance. It will be installed in my file server as an upgrade from the current 400W one.

  • Where can you get these Zippy power supplies?

  • @loljaosi I got this one off Ebay. Not sure where you would normally get them, because they usually come installed in servers from what I can tell.

  • I have been thinking of getting a new power supply. Which company would you recomend?

  • @HQA0 For general use, I like Silverstone quite a bit. Corsair is also decent. Zippy power supplies like this are more geared towards servers.

  • I had a G5 Imac a few months ago, the CPU heatsink was right beside the power supply (no metal closure or divider), and thats not all. The Heatsink blasted 60+ degree celcius heat right onto it.. Blown capacitors out the ass on that thing. not good.

  • @MilesPrower88 Wow, I've heard of iMac's having bad caps, but I've never worked on one. Hope you can get it going again!
