Achieve Power Supplies; any good?

[Ilmater]

A friend of mine got a free PSU from Xoxide when his case didn't arrive on time. Is it any good at all? It's a 500W PSU from Achieve. I'm assuming that any PSU that's rated at 500W and can be purchased for $17 probably isn't a good bet, but I'd like to know for sure from anyone that's had one or knows someone, blah, blah, blah...

Avoid cheap PSU's at all cost. Or learn it the hard way.

500W PSU for $17? There is no way that could be very reliable.

Never trust a unknown, cheap PSU as it can ruin all the components in your Computer.
