To be honest, it doesn't look like a serious product. They don't give you any kind of specification but its PEAK power, not continuos output, nor do they say details like how many 12v rails, amps, etc. Last, but not least, the weight: it's rather light, in comparison with what I've got - a HiperPower HPU 480 Watts, 3.05 kg and 530W peak power. To answer your question, I would guess it's about 400W at best. But I could be wrong and this is a good product. See if you can find any reviews, if you can't then it's not worth buying.

i had a 500w qtec once, was the older version of that one, used to put out around 11.7v on the 12v rail (measured with a dm) under heavy load, was only rated at around 16a on the 12v rail though which is pretty shit theese days and its only rated @ 240w on the 12v, id imagine that one improves on it a bit but not by a lot maybe 300 - 350w at a push i recomend one of the tagans, ive had one for over a year and its a absolute beast, never missed a beat, or even had the fans kick in at full power yet, even whilst running a tec off of it aswell as all the pc components it didnt seem to be straining.

As the previous posters I also say that the Qtec one is pure shit. Tagan and Seasonic are very good ones. One of those 2 will give you the best PSU the market can supply atm. Behold his GLORY! Bow for the technical master!

Don't buy Q Tec. They're crap. I had one that killed my motherboard. It actually melted it's self to the connector.

I used a QTEC PSU for my work comp, its not a good build product but it did the job fine for 6 months after which I did upgrade to an Enermax. I would advise you go for an Enermax or Tagan because a good psu IS important for maintaining a healthy system.
