Will this PSU meet my needs?

Hi Everyone,

I have found someone who is selling this PSU... I have no idea about the capabilities of this PSU and was wondering if someone could tell me what it does exactly... Sorry to sound like i dont know anything... But i don't....

I want a PSU that will power a modern PC (keyboard, mouse, sometime of display, etc)... Will this one do that?

Thanks.

- 8-16vdc input
- AT output connections
- 12v remote turn-on - great for car applications
- Standard size
- Binding post power connections
- 100% equipped "NIPPON CHEMI-CON" super high reliability Aluminum Electronic Capacitors
- 60KHz Switching Frequency Control IC inside
- High precision and stable DC outputs for long term operation
- +12v peak current: 4A
- +5v output current: 5A
- +12v output current: 2A
-5v output current: 0.3A
-12v output current: 0.5A

The peak to peak ripple and noise for +5V is less than 50mV. As for the other outputs are less than 100mV.

The output line regulation for +5V is less than +/-1%, for +12V is less than +/-2%, for -12V and -5V is less than +/0-3% while measuring at rated loading and +/-10% of input voltage changing.

The built-in over voltage protection circuit will shut down the outputs to prevent damaging external circuits. The trip point of crowbar circuit is around 5.7V to 7.0V. The power supply will go into hiccup mode against short circuit or over load conditions, and will auto recover while faulty conditions are removed.

The efficiency is higher than 73% by measuring at nominal line and rated load.

Most modern PCs are ATX. This is an AT supply. Therefore it won't work without modification.

If you can be a little more specific about what you want to power, we can be a little more constructive about what you need to power it.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I dont know what I want to power. I dont have a lot of money. I can't afford to buy a $200+ new PSU, I found the one mentioned above for under $70. I have a stack of computer parts to install into the car, I just need a PSU. I want a fairly basic system (computer (An OnBoard everything 1.7Mhz, 7200HDD, monitor, keyboard and/or mouse). Thats all

You could use an inverter and standard AC PSU.

I would strongly encourage saving up for the Opus DC-DC though.

For future PSU question, search and then post in the Power Supplies section. You're not the first to want a cheap solution.
