    *DEAD* Newegg 48hr Deal (1/31-2/1) - Antec Truepower New 550W $39.99AR FS

    In for 1. The reviews at Newegg have a troubling % of people that reported DOA or failure within the first few months. Hope that is not an issue. However, the 5 year warranty is a good sign.

    Rebate on Guinness $4 for 6er $7 for 12 pack
