Cool thanks. I just picked mine up from a SoCal Fry's. I priced the unit before I bought it and the CSR was surprised they sold it for that much. I wanted to get out of the store quick before they called a manager out to check what's up. Also, they had one that was a return, that was priced at $104. Wonder if that is $49.90 as well.

Just a FYI, looks like Outpost took the item off their site. Hopefully some are still available @ Fry's. Good luck...

Just got it in, and the cables ARE short. About 1" more would have done it.
Rails are stable with 6 IDE devices + 4 fans.
When I looked at the box it said "SANYO DENKI BLOWER inside"... while I knew there was one in the PSU itself, I thought they meant in the box. OH well. :)

My first device is like 5" away on top of the case, and that connector barely reached.
Bottom of my case (about 13" from PSU) where another IDE sits, had to use a extender.
It does weigh around 7 lbs, and isn't as noisy as the other PSU I had.
Overall, good deal. Thanks OP.

Should be standard 5% off of $49.90. You just have to make sure they know that.

Only display was left in Austin. didn't ask if they had more in the back. It was marked $99.90, I think. There was another red-signed enermax (silentaker? 420 watt?) that was marked $69.90. I didn't check the real price cuz there wasn't any NIB's left of that one either.

i just installed the psu and it's got plenty of length for my mid tower lian li case. it's about as loud as my panaflo L1A fans, so it's quiet enough for me.

I got mine and its a solid built unit. It is definitely deeper then your standard ATX PSU, so make sure you've got plenty of space between your PSU and the CDROM Drive bay in your case. No problems with cable length in my Antec 800 series case.

Is anyone having any problems with this PSU?? I have it connected to my new setup and the power only stays on for about 15-20 seconds before just shutting off by itself. Is that the PSU or the motherboard? or something else?:confused:

Mine is running fine. It has the most stable voltages I've seen in my drastically overclocked A64. Load versus no load varies less then 2%. I'm happy

Grabbed the last 2 @ the Fry's in Fountain Valley (one for me and one for me bro). Installed last night and running fine, although my system doesn't really stress it too much.
Got a Chieftec Matrix "mid-tower" case which is rather (good riddance Dan) tall but no issues with cable lengths. Also have an Enermax 425 watt unit and both have been excellent units.
