    Raidmax: quite likely to dramatically explode.

    They are crap, but that test was deliberately rigged.

    Even so, I can't see the point of this PSU when others more capable are same or similar enough price AR.

    Oh really? Let's check the newegg reviews on the "Brand X" unit in that video (it's actually a RAIDMAX RX-450K).

    FIRE HAZARD!!
    Pros: It worked, kinda.

    Cons: Powered up on day 1 to check it worked, mailed in the rebate i had on this product. Got home from mailing it to turn on the computer, next thing i know, a LOUD bang, sparks and flames shooting out the PSU. STAY AWAY! If your lucky it will just be faulty PSU, if your not ksis your computer goodbye!!!

    Other Thoughts: Stay away at all costs, i dont care if its free with free shipping, its not worth loosing all of your computer for!! STAY AWAY!!



    Sounds like a dramatic explosion to me. Laughing
