What are the benefits of this over a PC power supply, other than the work required to install terminals in a PC power supply?

It depends on what your purpose for the device is. I'm currently using this to power a small speaker and it works excellently. One note worthy benefit is that you have a voltage adjuster on the unit rather than being stuck strictly to 12 or 5 volts.

I can tell you this, and it might not directly answer your question:the powersupply is not designed to be very powerful, it was made to save on power costs. It is also non-standard, so you need to take that into account.ALSO,It has 2 displayports, out of the box. although I haven't tried hooking up 2 at the same time... so you may just need one additional card

No, this is not a power supply, only a controller. You still have to provide a separate power supply.

No, you do not have to use the power supply but PoE adapters and switches are more expensive.

Almost every electronic gadget that you buy today has an external power supply. It is a great way to put one of the components that can fail in a place where it is a (relatively) low cost replacement compared to having to replace the entire monitor.

It does not say anywhere on the box what it recommends for power supply. I am running it on a 250 watt power supply and it works great. I dont have any extra stuff drawing power on the computer. And no on needing the extra wire. It just draws its power from the PCIe X16 slot, so you will need one of those. (make sure its an X16 slot and not just a reg PCI slot.

Not only is it a higher wattage (1000w vs 750w) which will give you more power for high-end graphics cards (like the 770gtx), but it is Bronze rated, meaning it is very efficient (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/80_Plus). So yes, it is a much better power supply.

You will probably have better control if you will get an AMP to go with it rather than just plugging it straight to the PC. This makes alot of feedbacks specially if the place is small.

The USB connector is only for controlling a PC via USB, not for powering. It's not very power-intensive and putting in a fresh set of batteries is easy.

Sorry Victor F., but I don't know the answer. I used as a replacement in my old HP MediaCenter, but it works great. However, you can check the number of cable connections that you motherboard needs and compare with this power supply, and you must need checks the most important thing, the dimension of the power supply, because you don't want get your new power supply outside your PC.

I have had a really positive experience with this power supply. The mobo cables are solid and it is very handy only having to plug in the cables that are needed. This helps keep the case interior tidy. I have a large tower and the cables are able to reach anywhere within. It was a larger power supply than I was used to working with so be sure that you have enough space in your case.

Timothy this is a power supply FOR a computer it's used for computers only. If you haven't figured this out by now you shouldn't buy this.

No, it's just a power supply for the computer. It basically converts ac power to low voltage for the motherboard and all other components.

power's there, but you'd probably be better off just getting a 36v psu separate. A big buck/boost on this will either dirty up your power if you have other 12v devices on it, or be a loss in efficiency. I've used this with bucks to take it down to 5 to provide 12 and 5v with this. haven't gone up with it.

Both connectors provide data and power. You benefit from having more power only.

Probably not but I would if I were you. Power supplies aren't that expensive and you will be sitting on the edge of what you will need.

i am not really sure on the power supply but the pc is not set for wireless it would have to be added to the computer
