Antec Neo HE 380W for $20AR

[Winterpool]

Newegg is offering the Antec Neo HE 380 watts for $70 - $50 rebate, free shipping. Proportionately big rebate, but if you can stomach it, that's a pretty good deal for a brand-name 380W PSU.

You won't be driving any overclocked quadcore SLI rigs with this power supply, but it could make an excellent PSU for a moderate-power system.

Reviews on Newegg are currently mixed: there seem to have been a rash of wonky supplies a year or two ago (as I recall there were issues with the Neo HE line in general back then). Strange, since these are manufactured by Seasonic...

Some builders have reported issues with Seasonic-produced PSUs of various brands (Antec, Corsair, etc) with P35 boards (especially Abit and ASUS). Not sure about the current state of this issue. There do seem to be plenty of people running Abit and ASUS boards successfully with the Neo HE. Crossing my fingers because I hope to be one of them in the next couple of weeks...

My neohe 550 has been working great over the past year on my abit 965p, and this 380 should be more than enough for any PC running one gpu. Perfect for an HTPC as well.

Also, Antec rebates have always come in for me in a timely fashion.

Is this new old stock or is antec bringing back the neohe 380?

Good deal on a nice PSU with modular cables! *DROOL*

Think I'll hold out for a smokin hot deal like the EA380 for $5 AR =D

Watch my current 350W crap out the day this deal is dead...
