good for 120 bucks shipped after 30 dollar rebate?

According to here:

100W
87.8
225W
91.3
450W
92.0
675W
90.8

as long as you were in the 200-500 watt you'd be pretty good at about 91-92% efficiency. That's pretty good considering the titanium is around 94%. It still offers the 10 year warranty.

I was wondering is this good power supply for a bit more then 100 bucks? I don't see anything wrong with it, my old PS just went out and I'm going to use this for my old computer and the titanium 850 for my new build. I think this PS is a pretty good deal. Thoughts? I find it funny in the review the guy says if money's no object than getting the titanium would still be the way to go, but for a backup kick around machine, this should be a decent PS for the money right?

I don't see how you can go wrong for 120 bucks. I paid 75 bucks a corsair CX 600 only lasted about 4 years...... Pretty much died soon after the warrenty expired. And I ran this PS on APC UPS it's whole life, and only with maybe 1/3 of the load usage for about 6 hours a day. I am kinda disappointed with corsair.

I've had seasonic before and never had a problem with any PS dieing on me (name brand ones) at least. Maybe just got unlucky with corsair.

Should be good. Kind of hard to justify over SS-860XP2 that went as low as $90 in the past.

yeah... that was in the past, but this is today. Thanks tho. I've wondered about Customer Service on these units. I'm sure this has been asked before. I wonder what PS has the best service when you need to RMA a 9 year old dusty unit.
