NZXT lexa PSU

A friend I know wants me to build a comp for him, and i have got all the parts, but i want to know weather the 420 Watt PSU in the Lexa is any good, I know I will only need about 350 Watts, but has anyone actually used a NZXT PSU?

The Lexa sold here in the US has a 500 watt unit made by "CASING MACRON TECHNOLOGY CO LTD". Never heard of them, no idea whether it's any good or not.

I wouldn't risk it. We don't know anything about the house NZXT brand PSU, but the orginal PSUs that came in their older designs like the guardian and nemisis were Orion, which is known junk. I'd say it's better just to be safe, and get cheaper Antec or thermaltake or something.
