    TruePower Trio units aren't terrible, they're not very good, but at least they're not unsafe like some cheap brands. Aside from the Asus board, the PSU and the RAM, the rest of it is OK. However, if you're buying this as a complete system, stay away. Too many of the parts are low quality and would be expensive to replace. If this is what you were considering building yourself you can make the necessary adjustments before you order the parts.
