Results after testing:
PSU-POT550-BK is a nice unit from Tuniq. It is nice that it comes with switch on the back. Also, this unit automatically converts from 220 or 110 output, so you don’t have to worry about changing the voltage if you moving to another country. 120 mm silent fan blows hot air away pretty good. The only thing I didn’t like is that the box specifies that the unit is 80% efficiency when the manual says that it’s about 70%, but later I have found that on the official 80 PLUS Web site, this unit became certified.

The unit goes for about $90, which is pretty good deal.

Pros:
Good PFC (Power Efficiency)
Works Quiet
Smells like new
Good Price
Chooses output type automatically
3 – Year warranty
Full Circuit Protection

Cons:
None
