+3.3V@20A, +5V@30A, +12V@18A, -5V@0.5A, -12V@0.8A, +5VSB@2A
No PFC, 65% efficiency
This isn't the best PSU in the world but I've actually had experience with about 8 or 9 of these and only had one go, and that one that went was bought used so I really have no idea how it was used before I got it. It came in a machine with an SLI setup and several hard drives, and was extremely dirty so my guess is it just gave up after being overstressed and covered in dust.
For the price it's pretty damn good. I put 'em in a bunch of mid-level machines and they've all been going for a few years now with nary a problem or complaint.
65% efficiency makes it a money waster after you buy it, with all the extra heat it generates.
Do you guys think this would be good enough for duo core, 8800gt, 2 harddrives and 2 dvdrw? Or would i need something with a little more power?
@ #4: you need more amps on the +12v rail
The efficiency is HORRIBLE on this power supply, too. Plus it has 30A on the +5v rail. What is this, 2002?
Get the Antec Earthwatt 380w from yesterday for $15.

#6 is that good enough for the setup im running? or anyone knows? 380 watts?
#7, when shopping for PSUs, don't look at the wattage rating - that's subject to manipulation by the manufacturer. Instead, take a look at the voltage rails maximum ratings (posted by #1 above). Research on Google for the amperage ratings of your devices, add them up by rail, and make sure that any PSU you consider would at least meet the needs of all your components combined. Use the highest amperage you can find, and give yourself some headroom (I would suggest getting a PSU which exceeds your system's normal power consumption by 30%). HTH.

#6, it's $20 now.
Thanks all for the great info!!
#7: no, probably not. You need something more in the 450-500watt range.
