They have pulled it looks like. Some of the comparable PSUs there are questionable. I see a "400W" unit rated for 350W continuous @ 30C.

go ahead buy it.
I would only use it as a back up, or a testing psu for when things get crazy.
just dont hook anything you love up to the thing for very long, you never know when it will pop and take everything with it, yeah even your diskette drives :cry:

Ha, well fireworks now days are about that expensive. Hmm, that would be fun to see go off.

If you have a P4 system that needs a good PSU, then you should buy it.

I ordered it. It would be for back-up :P Unfortunately it went out of stock as I ordered it so they will let me know within 24 hours if I get one or not :(

I wanted the Zen 300watt but it was out of stock :(

First off, I'd guess there's a misprint in the ad and it should have been $53.70, or something similar. That might be why the ad was pulled, as Proximon noted. Beyond that, how much do you value your computer? Is it worth more than $5.37? If it is, don't trust it to a $5.37 PSU.

Those PSUs are very good.

I swear these Black Friday sales always end up having me order things I don't need.

The Zen 300 for $13 would have been nice.

$5 PSU never sits right with me.

Of course I did build a cheapo system with a $20 case/psu combo that's been working fine for over a year now. :)
