There are two promo codes that will get you $18 off the total as well.

the hard drive is fine segate is awesome its officialy refurbished so no problem. and the psu and case i just put in the description. i have a 500w dynes psu and a nice big dell case.

$10 less for half the capacity and a drive, a very limited warranty, and plenty of wear already on it? No, the drive is a terrible buy.

The PSU and case are terrible and Dynex-labeled units are trash. I recommend you replace your PSU ASAP.

you're right with the hard drive. and a case dosent really make any difference. now the psu is just fine 500w at 25 amps on the 12 volt line. ive owned plenty of dynex brand stuff and it all works flawlessly.

It's unlikely the unit can deliver anything close to what it's rated for.

These were terrible five years ago.

Also, the Logisys unit you recommended in your post is garbage. This is the kind of unit you'll find bearing the Logisys logo.

You need to do some research and inform yourself before you recommend trash like this.[/spoil]
as i have said before i just put those into it to be there to complete the build.

thats not even the psu i bought
So you neglected the most crucial component. I even forgot to mention that the Logisys unit isn't even compatible with what you linked as it lacks a PCI power connector. It also has a -5V rail, which means this is a VERY old design.

No quality reviews exist for your PSU. That should be yet another reason not to buy it, along with the fact that it can't even output more than 410w if the unit can actual deliver what it is rated for (again, doubtful). Dynex-labeled PSUs are infamously bad. There's nothing you can say to substantiate that your PSU is of decent quality and again, I strongly suggest reading up on PSUs.

That doesn't make it a quality PSU. You took a gamble with it and it's holding up for the time being. Lucky you.
