This is a 420W power supply and it is cooled with a single internally mounted 120mm quiet fan. The power outputs are as follows:</p> <table width="86%" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td><div align="center">+3.3V </div></td> <td><div align="center">+5V</div></td> <td><div align="center">+12V</div></td> <td><div align="center">-5V</div></td> <td><div align="center">-12V</div></td> <td><div align="center">+5Vsb</div></td> </tr> <tr> <td><div align="center">26.0A</div></td> <td><div align="center">32.0A</div></td> <td><div align="center">13.0A</div></td> <td><div align="center">0.5A</div></td> <td><div align="center">0.8A</div></td> <td><div align="center">2.0A<br> </div></td> </tr> </table> <p align="left">The following are measurements of the power supply's 3.3V, 5V, and 12V rails. The measurements are taken with a standard multi-meter:</p> <table width="86%" border="0" align="center"> <tr> <td><strong>Rails</strong></td> <td><div align="center"><strong>+3.3V </strong></div></td> <td><div align="center"><strong>+5V</strong></div></td> <td><div align="center"><strong>+12V</strong></div></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Measured</strong></td> <td><div align="center">3.44V</div></td> <td><div align="center">5.25V</div></td> <td><div align="center">12.25</div></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>% Deviation</strong></td> <td><div align="center">4.2%</div></td> <td><div align="center">5%</div></td> <td><div align="center">2.1%</div></td> </tr> </table> <p align="left">As the measurements show, this is not the greatest performing power supply available today. The 5V is really pushing the 5% safety deviation margin. If your budget is really tight though, this power supply might suffice. The 12V rail is also very weak. Don't expect to use a high powered video card and a high end CPU with this supply.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/virgo_case/25.jpg"><img src="atruereview/virgo_case/25th.jpg" width="230" height="250" border="0" alt="Raidmax Virgo 811W Case"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left"><strong>Conclusion:</strong></p> <p align="left"> For its price, the Virgo 811W is a superb case. It features a small wealth of visual accessories such as a built-in temperature display, side window, and a visually awesome side fan. Raidmax also manages to squeeze in a sufficient power supply. </p> <p align="left">Being as it is a budget oriented case, the Virgo 811W does not have any tool-less designs. Furthermore, a front intake fan is not included. Overall though, for anyone building a computer that is on tight funds or just for anyone looking for a great inexpensive case, the Raidmax Virgo 811W is a good choice.</p> <p><strong>Pros:</strong></p> <ul> <li> Integrated temperature display</li> <li> Fiery side fan</li> <li> Included fans are quiet</li> <li> Nice rear and side fan grills</li> <li> Power supply included</li> </ul> <p><strong>Cons:</strong></p> <ul> <li> No tool-less designs</li> <li> No front intake fan</li> <li>PSU voltages are shaky</li> </ul> <p><strong>Ratings:</strong></p> <table width="227" border="0"> <tr> <td width="105">Esthetics:</td> <td width="183">Very Good</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Cooling: </td> <td> Very Good</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Packaging:</td> <td>Very Good</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Price: </td> <td>Excellent</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Overall:</td> <td> Very Good</td> </tr> </table> <p>(Ratings Possible: Terrible, Very Bad, Bad, Fair, Good, Very Good, Excellent)</p> <p align="left"><a href="atruereview/virgo_case/raidmax2.php"></a> <a href="virgo_case/raidmax2.php">Previous (Interior)</a></p> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div id="footer" class="clr"> <div class="rk-1"> <div class="rk-2"> <div id="the-footer"> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
