I'm normally very suspicious of cheap power supplies - they tend to fail a lot, sometimes spectacularly.

However, Sparkle is actually supposed to be quite good, they're the same as Fortron. Is this the same sparkle I'm thinking of though? I mean Fortron is cheap but not that cheap...

I know back in the day Sparkle was a good brand but I haven't purchased a PS in 8yrs or more. I guess for $25 shipped it might be worth a shot.
