“Best Buy has certainly stepped up its game in the last few years when it comes to better servicing the DIY computer builder or upgrader. But is Best Buy doing you a service a disservice by selling you its own computer power supply?”Here are some more Cases & Cooling reviews from around the web:

POS PSU
Best Buy has decided to sell their own PSUs, the 400W Dynex and the 700W Rocketfish. Chances are most builders haven’t even considered a Best Buy branded PSU, let alone any other components from a retailer, but if you know anyone with a pre-configured PC from Best Buy or has had a visit from the Geek Squad, you may find one of these lurking inside. Considering that the 400W died under [H]ard|OCP’s 200W test, you may want to target that for replacement immediately. The 700W did not fare much better.
