What is a PSU?

 

[Originality]

Power Supply Unit. It's the box that plugs into the wall at one end and everything else at the other end.

The 2 important things to note are the brand name and the wattage. E.g. corsair 600W.

Brand name isn't enough though, a model number is needed to determine whether that PSU is quality one or not.

I dont understand a word you guys are saying but for the sake of asking, are you going for a desktop or laptop?

It's enough to tell if its a crappy PSU. E.g. Unbranded 450W.

It's a "be quiet! Straight Power BQT E8-550W" PSU.

I actually made that mistake in the past. NZXT HALE82N 650W is a crappy PSU (ripple exceeds specification), but on the other hand HALE90 lineup is very nice PSU. Same brand does not mean same quality.

Of course there are brands that people should absolutely avoid at all time, brands like Apevia, Diablotek, Logisys, etc.

It's a "be quiet! Straight Power BQT E8-550W" PSU.

That is actually a good PSU. So that's good there.

Well if you want to get really technical, many PSU brands aren't actually made by the Branders but subcontracted instead. Who actually makes the PSUs determines how good it is. But for the purpose of this thread, there's no need to overcomplicate things. I already went into enough detail on PSUs in another thread.

Dolphin and PCSX2 run and look great on my new PC. I'm now considering selling my PS2 and Gamecube. But how good are these emulators as substitutes of actual systems?

 

[Rydian]

They're a lot better than they were, but still not perfect, there's some games that don't run or run with issues (or just slow).

The question is if they are reliable enough to sell the consoles? I have so many old consoles and I'd need the space.

I still wouldn't sell them, in particular for Dolphin.
