Another older ATX PSU with only a single +12V rail, the Etasis passed the tests without any issue. The literature openly states the 300 in the product name is a peak power output with 285W being the sustained output power. Voltage rails were solid throughout, expect from when you power on the PSU from cold when regulation is fairly poor. Six 4-pin Molex connectors is a nice count for a low output supply. It didn't get too hot and efficiency was comparatively very high, however its removable fan was very noisy. That's hopefully a sample-specific issue.
Recommended system: Low-end to mid-range P4 and AMD Athlon Socket A

The AOpen XPower 300W is a low-cost 300W ATX supply designed to be paired with low-end to mid-range P4, Socket A AMD and Socket 754 and 939 Athlon 64 and Sempron. There's a 24-to-20 pin coverter in the box, unfitted, along with a 4-pin Molex-to-SATA converter to give a total of three SATA connectors. Two +12V rails are available, meeting the ATX 2.0 spec. +12V was measured high on both rails under heavy load and efficiency was average. The 120mm meant it was fairly cool and quiet. It passed all output load tests without any problems.
Recommended system: Low-end to mid-range P4, AMD Athlon Socket A and AMD Athlon 64 and Sempron on Socket 754 and Socket 939.
