Posted May 12, 2017 Got this for free. Is it worth the risk to use it for anything? Unsure what power supply to pick? Check out my HTPC build.

Posted May 12, 2017 Usable, yes. Ask if there where better options out there, and I'd say you where asking a stupid question.

But don't try and load a lot of wattage on it. I have a 500W power supply that also looks sketchy and according to reviews on HardwareInsights, it can really only output 300W.

Posted May 12, 2017 A low power workstation build, sure. Just about anything this side of Logisys can support a G4560/GT 730 setup. I wouldn't try to run anything substantial or demanding on it. I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Posted May 12, 2017 If you decide to toss it , I always salvage the fan , fan grill , wires , and screws from power supplies. The only real sketchy part of a cheapo power supply is the circuit board itself.
