    Acbel 550w price drop! (the famous one)

    i was browsing hypermicro, and found that they dropped the price to $18.

    http://hypermicro.com/ProductDesc.as...LY-BULK&key=it

    i don't need one, but if you do, snatch one!

    btw, they also had vantec stealth dual ball bearing 80mm fans for $3 a piece. ill grab 2 more, they are the quietest fans i have ever had that moved that much air.

        They started at like $35-$40 a couple years ago and it's been trickling down.

          seriously a gd deal, although my country provides a 5yr warranty, it still can"t match to the website.

          can get one for spare, perhaps do a recap on those ltec caps inside, it will be working great.

                I've been building computers with them, and using them for spares, for years now. Haven't had one break yet.

                But you guys don't want them. They make too much noise. Just leave 'em and I'll take care of them.

                  Yeah, you guys don't want them. They just weight too much. A bit too loud

                    they are too boring. powmax is cool, they make analog multimeters dance! it looks so cool!

                    and the fireworks they make is amazing. it brightens my life.

                    and they weigh so little that my matching case does not bend.

                    speaking of powmax cases, they are so kool too! they make good drums, they sound like a giant pop can! also, if you need to mod it, it is easy, you just bend it with your hand to make it what you want!

                    and they are so cheap too!

                    ( JOKING!!!)

                    powmax sucks!

                      Cheap cases are terrible.

                      A friend of mine had one, he tried to move it, and it flexed so much it pulled his video card out of the slot...

                              Too bad they don't ship to Canada. Then again, the postage would probably eat up the savings

                                It says availability 1043. I'd guess that's how many of 'em they have.

                                For the record, the one I modified with two 6 pin PCI-E connectors to power an 8800GTX is still working just fine.

                                But what am I thinking. You guys still don't want 'em.

                                      I have one sitting in the closet. Too loud

                                      These things are built like fucking TANKS though. If you don't care about noise, this is a good PSU.
