WHAT IS IT?
I?m reviewing the ?Q-Tec USB2 HDD 3.5? Case?. Now many of you are probably thinking ?What the hell is that??. Well, it?s basically a case where you put your Hard Disk Drive (HDD) in, so you can use the HDD while it?s out of your computer. The HDD is the ?storage disk?, usually found inside the computer and it is the place where you store all your software, documents and any other files you may have such as mp3s, pictures, etc. The HDD looks like a small silver box, with black plastic areas around the edges. It has a disk inside that spins around while data is read from it and written to it by a needle. You don?t see the ?disk?, as it is enclosed inside the drive but you can usually hear it. People are usually referring to HDD capacity when they bring up numbers like 20GB, 40GB, 80GB, etc when discussing computer ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Q-Tec 750H
Advantages: Very cheap, 2 fans Disadvantages: None
Arguably the most important component inside your PC is its power supply, the power supply unit (PSU) provides the power to every other component inside your computer ie: Motherboard, hard drive, processor, graphics card etc etc... and all these components require a powerful and extremely stable PSU in order to operate as intended.
14 months ago i built my current PC and opted to use the Q-tec 550 watt dual fan gold as its power supply unit, most modern day PC power supplies average around 350 watt and they are predominantly fine for most PC's but as you add extra components to your PC like extra hard drives, or a faster processor or faster graphics card then you may get close to reaching the limit of your particular power supply which can result in either the PSU not functioning properly (causing serious system instability) or in ...
When I upgraded to a 64 bit AMD Athlon, I upgraded a few other bits and pieces too. A new graphics card, new hard drive, and new CD-Rom drive, along with the new CPU, my old power supply just wasn't capable.
I wanted a strong supply, at a budget price, and Q-Tec seemed to fit the bill quite nicely, at the price I was dubious but the PSU has performed admirably now for well over a year.
The PSU is cooled by three fans, 2 x 80mm, and 1 x 120 mm, which you would expect to be noisy, but this wasn't the case. The quoted noise level of 29 dB seems nothing compared to another fan within my case. These fans are temperature controlled, so when the PSU is doing very little, there is little noise coming from the fans.
The package contents are, the PSU, and not a lot else. Think a little manual wouldn't have gone a miss, maybe it was ...
