On another note, check out the seller's ID name. She didn't have too much of a sense of humor about it...Last edited by Roadkill203; 10-30-2008, 05:50 PM.Comment

Keep us informed on how well it lasts (hopefully untill the crap caps inside go bad).
Back to the original topic:
Wow, Aus$300 really is a bit too little for a decent computer. Stevo, I'm surprised you even could come up with a list like that. Everything seems good for the most part. You can always try a cheaper hard drive, though (so that you can save for a better PSU). If PATAs or SATA 1s are cheaper, buy one of those. I bet your friend won't even notice the difference.Last edited by momaka; 10-30-2008, 08:07 PM.Comment

Re: What do you guys think?
Ah that sucks. In that case you don't have much choice then. Your friend either buys the computer off of you with the cooler master PSU or the one at the store with the Deer PSU. Tell him to get the one with the Deer PSU if he's in a bad mood and feels like destroying something

Re: What do you guys think?
@ Stevo: everything is up to the friend of your friend. Show your configuration and wait: if he accepts your deal, all right (don't worry, the Cooler Master is better than the Deer); if he turns to the end-of-the-street shop hoping for a cheap deal ["Wow, I got a Lexmark ink-jet printer for free"], then don't warn him, don't state he'd need your services in a few months, don't laugh or cry either: after all he doesn't want to be a client (you're building a system for free and with better components than the cheapo computer) but only a customer. The cheapest price has [sorry for the pun] a price: help and assistance; you know he'll ask your help and he'll pay for it, sooner or later.
Maybe I'm rude, but that is how I see the situation.
Good luck,

This is a Coolermaster case double-header.... The reason this one didn't get added to my 'misc build' thread is becasue the Cooler Master ATC-S aluminum case....That case is a class-act way above & beyond anything in that thread! However, we have to get through a mediocre build to get to the treasure!
...but here's the two Cooler Master cases in question; both of which were drop-offs for recycling.... The one on the left, I'm not really sure what model it is. It's nothing overly special, but it is well-made. The one on the right is an ATC-S solid aluminum, best I can determine... -
I am attempting to repair this. Circuit is quite simple, but i a quite stuck at it for a long time. so today i try to ask for new ideas. my challenge is to under stand what mistake i made. I had repaired not lesson than 50 pcs of various brands ATX psu . main pwm chip is Cm 6805 Sip 9 .
5VSB is fine. When I short Pson, totally nothing happen. I check , the Cm 6805 VCC pin2 did have 16v, But totally nothing happen. I changed to a good chip from another good PSU. Same thing.
What other pin should I check such that it will result in no start up at all ?

Got this from my kid with a fault on primary side. Main power supply here is AC 220V. All caps were Ok, testing with 2 series lamp of 70W each, got a bright lamp
. Checked main heatsink one by one with my component tester and found one 3 leg buddy MDP18N50 that passed away. Got same replacement after a week, tested, short was gone, now I got 310V on primary.
Happy as a dog, added one case fan for some load and the fan of the PSU. Tested purple wire, got 5.1V, great!. Shorted green and black, fan spins and after about 5 seconds shuts down. I was able to measure doing several iterations... -
Happy new year.
This PSU use WT7527V supervisor.
On purple cable i have 5V, but on #4 of WT7527V i have 0.21V.
If i try to start PSU with short between green and black it star for a second and stop.
For what other to check? I now that is needed more info but i don`t know what else to share -
Hi all,
The PSU in question had a bad power switch. There was not physical feedback when switching on and - if memory serves - it was always ON even when in OFF position.
I researched a bit and got some replacements.
The replacement "got stuck" at first power up - as in "it's now always on".
It looks like this PSU has a pretty large inrush current as my lights flicker when I turn it on with no load.
Probably the switches I got are bad quality but I was wondering if someone could recommend a good replacement?...
