I would like to hear opinions regarding this PSU. How does everyone feel about this manufacturer. Do they make reliable PSU's? Is this PSU capable of running a second generation 256MB Radeon X1950 PRO .

Thanks,
Michael

Honestly, someone, apparently smarter than me, called me out on another forum for recommending this product to an individual needing to upgrade his PSU for this card. I'm sure the PSU will work, I just wanted some second opinions. :)

Thanks
 
A lot of people will insult Rosewill PSUs without really knowing anything about them, based on reputation alone. In truth Rosewill PSUs are made by a variety of different manufacturers, and vary enormously in quality. This is made by ATNG, and is one of their better units, and performs very well (I wouldn't have put it in my list of recommendations otherwise :D). Take a look at (and point the other guy to) http://www.jonnyguru.com/review_details.php?id=48 for a full review.

Final thoughts:

The Rosewill RP500-2 is a real eye opener. Here we have this much maligned PSU brand that everyone automatically writes off as sheer crapola that is actually kicking ass and taking names. True, Rosewill is hit and miss with their choice of OEM's but it looks like when they hit they hit like the old George Foreman! This is a wolf in sheep's clothing for sure. I walked into this expecting to finally have the pleasure of letting the magic blue smoke out of something but to my surprise and delight I've discovered a hidden gem instead. This PSU is nothing short of "The Budget PSU" as long as you take care to keep it in a well vented system. It could be a little prettier at added cost and it'd still be one helluva value. That said, it really needs to jump fully into the 21st century and get with the SATA program. It's here to stay folks, might as well make things easy for us to use it.
