Hi,

I recently bought and received this PSU:
http://www.dabs.com/products/coolermaster-elite-power-500---500w--70--efficiency--12v-single-rail-8K48.html?refs=55420000&src=3#reviews

It was delivered yesterday, and I found that I only has the PSU 'box' itself, no plug to connect it to the wall! Is this normal? Am I expected to buy my own plug? If so, where and what spec do I need? I have one that isn't being used (it was intended for a monitor) would this do?

Thanks
 
Great, thanks. Just so I know, how could I get another one of these cables? Sounds a bit of a dumb question I know, but I don't actually know what search term to use when trying to buy one!
 
Ive bought so many psu's in my time but I can't really remember if I got any without a plug, but I guess its up to the manufacturer if they want to supply one or not. Check if the box says what should be included, if it does not say or power cable is not listed then I guess they don't need to include one. I am certain you can use your monitor cable yes, it would have to be one very thin cable and one extremely powerful psu and computer to cause a problem. If the cable does not get hot, then it can handle the current, but I have never had a problem doing this and ive never heard anyone having this problem.
