Ok, so you may have seen my posts about getting a new pc...well i was confident at first, but im unsure now because the company i want to buy it from seem to be selling dodgy psu's that come with the pc's. This is the site, www.dinopc.com . I'd appreciate if you could let me know whether i should trust them or not, i was looking at the home/office pc's but it seems they come with bad psu's...

I'm confused...I thought TC just wanted to know if "www.dinopc.com" was a trustworthy site or not, he wasn't asking for a PSU...

But i'm not familiar at all with dinopc, the site seems well made but i've never heard of them (I'm from the US so thats why)...

Edit: just went and looked around at reviews for DinoPc and everyone i read seemed in support of them, and didn't mention anything about their PSU's going bad, plus they do have a 3 year warranty (1 year on parts, 3 for labour)...if you link to the particular one you are looking at it may list what PSU is actually in it and then we can judge on that

Ok well I was looking at home/office pc's range because they are the cheapest and i can customize some of them basically into gaming machines. So they all come with the same range of psu's, and i was looking at the 500w Eagle. You should be able to find this if you click on customise on the home/office pc's and then scroll down till you see the psu's. Thanks very much, Sean

You seem pretty knowledgeable about the components you want. Have you considered building your own PC?
