I dont really know exactly.. with credit at tigerdirect, or google checkouts, or whatever... im not quite sure how. I just figured some of the people who see this would find a way to make it even cheaper for themselves!

But, at $99, it's still a really REALLY great deal for that PSU, so it doesnt matter if you can go lower... if you need a PSU, there are very few models that are better!
 
"However we found out that this power supply doesn?t have a MOV (surge suppressor), which is a sin on a high-end power supply.

This power supply also misses two protections compared to competing products: over power (OPP) and under voltage (UVP). However, it has short-circuit (SCP), over current (OCP) and over voltage (OVP) protections, which is enough for the average user.

It seems that OCZ also saved some bucks on the electrolytic capacitors: they are all Taiwanese and not Japanese like some competing products."

Wow, that's such a thorough review it's almost impossible to refute it!!!

The problem with this power supply is that if you need 600-700W of power (which most people don't) the ripple goes out of spec (which you can laugh about all you want, but I'd prefer my computer to be getting steady voltage). If you don't need all that power, then you stay in spec, but what's the point of spending more to get more power if you can't use it.

Anyway, the biggest killer for this deal IMO is that you have a rebate through onerebate and TD, which you will need to fight for months with those companies in order to receive.
