Any good? Will it last and deliver?
I know everyone loves the thermaltakes and that would be the one too choose but i want to try something different. I have tried a few different brands of ps before Hipro enermax sparkle and a few others but im not at all familiar with coolmax.
I like the 120mm fan.

Any one with any real experience with this brand want to give me your 2 cents

Thanks

I'm not impressed with Coolmax. My brother bought a "CompUSA" PSU that is just a rebadged Coolmax. The wires are all thin gauge and the PSU is very light. It works, but I doubt it will be as reliable as my thermaltake. From my experience, PSUs like these tend to blow out after a year or two.

Coolmax used to go by the ATNG name. They are decent budget PSUs. You can sometimes get them on Newegg under the Rosewill name for less and they also have them under the Coolmax name. I wouldn't buy from TD unless the bottom line price was really worth the potential hassle. Looks like the same PSU is available under the Rosewill name for $42. shipped from newegg. Who's your daddy???
