BFG PSU Opinions

I was just looking at what I could grab locally that wouldn't cost me an arm, a leg and my right testicle and found this.

BFG Tech - GS-550 Power Supply

It'll only be powering an Atom so it's overkill but there's not much locally available. It's got to be better than the $28 bestpower unit I have in it now, right?

I have bought this used to free up my 650TX, it is used in basic build without problems. I actually find it is cooler than the 650TX.

I believe Phil and 0o0(I think I bought mine from him) had some.

it run cool and quiet, i don't use it for a long time since i upgraded to 750w(3gpu in folding rig) but it can power up an 8800ultra + athlon 240 oc without any problem and still runnig cool

It's a mediocre Topower unit. Low-end builds only. It would be plenty for an Atom build though.

I grabbed one on my way home, time to play.

Hmm, it looks pretty good, I'm guessing the dark nickel brushed finish? goes well with the mirror black I had the case done in. I only need 3 of the cable bundles, so I've gotta find a way to hide the rest. I must have walked around in FS for like 10min before I broke down and ASKED where they were, turns out I had walked by them 3 times, they were sitting under misc. cables for some reason.
