Hi, I really wouldnt worry about it too much. it sounds like the psu just cuts off power, but theres just a second or two where there is still a little power left in it. As long as evrything else seems normal then dont worry about it, but if it really concerns you then just send it back to tigerdirect, there very understanding with returns. -Nick

you didn't get a great deal. the plain "ultra" PSUs are garbage and IMO are not even worth $20

yes, that is normal. the monitor is not powered by the PSU, it turns off after it recieves "no signal" from the PC.

Quote:
I think for this crowd, if you recommend any of the Thermaltake ATX12V models, but none of the TruePower 480W PSU's, you wouldn't be doing anyone any disservice
Turbo
Ultra (yes, the pretty looking ones, they are made by a low-quality Chinese company that starts with "Young". Can't get much more generic than that!!!)
X-superalien

A cheap psu always has the potential to fry your valuable computer components.

are you going to buy him a new PC when it cooks all his components?

cheap PSUs like that may (and I stress the word may) be able to provide sufficient power for your system, this is why people may say it's good (just read a few useless newegg reviews to find that out). but keep in mind that it will only put out about 60%-70% of what it rated for.

but the real danger in using a cheap PSU is it's voltage regulation and it's protection circuitry, or lack there of. if it's not being taxed, then it will probably work ok. but if it gets taxed then the voltages start to fluctuate to dangerous levels and the PSU may produce a spike of high voltage and current which will pass right through the garbage "so called protection circuitry" and proceed to cook all of your components with it.

chances are that it won't happen, but is the $40 savings worth compromising your $1000+ computer? it's your call, but it would be wise to buy from a reputable brand like Antec, Enermax, PCP&C, fortron who have proven reliable protection and realistic wattage ratings.
 
ELl i understand, wat does TAXED MEAN?!?! and umm. I have only spent like 160$ on my pc..lol Its was boke wen i got it.. Sorry for my typing
