Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We bought this power supply as one of the first components for my youngest son’s first build. It took us a long time to get all of the components together. The build went okay, although some of the cables were a bit short (as in “not long”, not as in “electrical short”). The computer then worked great for about 3 days. On the morning of day 4, after what we had assumed was a normal shut-down the night before, we discovered that the power supply had self-destructed, full-on blue smoke and burned components visible rattling around the inside of the power supply. We will be making a warranty claim, as it has a 5-year warranty, but this makes me extremely wary of buying anything else from this manufacturer.
