Antec Neo Eco 400W ps for $30 shipped, Newegg Shell Shocker

[Meghan54]

Newegg's first Shell Shocker of the day......an Antec Neo Eco 400W power supply for $30 shipped. Good unit for the price.

Great unit for a great price! I picked up a couple of them when it was a previous shell shocker deal. I have a few of them running in various builds and they are great.

Nice. Just bought one, was coming back to post here. I think this deal is about the best you can do without rebate.

Great for any setup with a video card that needs only one six pin. Very nice.

This will let me pull the Neo 620 out of a smaller rig and put that big boy back on my shelf as the backup PSU

Or maybe I'll use it for my Microcenter 2600k bundle? Decisions, decisions

Bump, this Shell Shocker is going on again.

I bought one last time around. Works pretty well.

This is a great media server PSU.

I bought this the first time around when the OP put it up. My son and I used it on his "You have to get better grades and then you get a new computer" build and so far it has worked really well.

If you're looking for a cheap psu for a low to mid level build this is hard to beat.

Bought another two today......best ps for the price right now, esp. with no rebates.

how's this compare to the corsair cx 430?

i've heard of coil whine with the corsair unit.

They're on par with each other, roughly 1% of efficiency difference between them. Corsair's better at low loads, Antec's better at high.

If you were hoping for a CX430 deal, this'll be a good alternative.

Thank You!

 

[Hugo Drax]

Cool, ordered one. I needed one as a spare and future build.

If you were hoping for a CX430 deal....

Well, there is a deal on the CX430, but it involves a rebate.

Through tonite, there's a 10% price reduction on the CX430, bringing it down to $40.49 shipped. After the $10 MIR being offered on it, the price drops to $30.49, almost the match of the Neo Eco 400. But the Antec is just a straight up price, no rebates involved, so a "hotter" deal to me.

Thanks for bumping this thread, in for another one.

I get three of these every time they're a Shell Shocker deal. For the price, and lack of rebate hassle (though I've never had trouble with Antec rebates), these are really tough to beat.
