Review on Replace Power® Replacement Upgrade ElanVita by Shima Hennigan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than the original PSU

I have an old Shuttle computer with a touchscreen built in, it's a Casatunes music server. They replaced faulty PSUs twice and even upgraded me to higher wattage than originally, but in the end this one failed. Since the computer has been running 24/7 for years, I don't think I should complain. In any case, this power supply is smaller than the one it replaced, but works perfectly. There was touchscreen flickering in the native configuration, but this PSU eliminated all of that and works like new. The screw holes lined up just right and it was easier to install the one he replaced because it's a few inches shorter. Even if this one eventually dies, it's still better than the original shuttle brand. I've already done three of them. The noise level is lower than that of the replaced one, but it still cannot be called quiet. It's fine for my purposes, but as mentioned, if you're using this in a very quiet environment, try a different brand.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I can't remember but there was something
