they've done it before & here it is again. I bought one of these from Directron & now use it instead of my Antec 430W, despite the fact that its fairly loud.

Model: TT-520SS, Output: +5V: 45A. +12V: 18A. +3.3V: 28A. -5V: 0.5A. -12V: 0.8A +5VSB: 3A. Connectors: 10 x IDE connectors, 2 x floppy connectors, +12V power connector, Aux power connector

I think these have 20-pin connectors, not 24pin. This obviously does not have the dual 12v rails, modular cords, & other new PSU stuff, so do your research & do what works for you. This one also seems good for $40:

warning: directron is not newegg. some people have had negative experiences with directron, so caveat emptor.

Hmmm.....just had a 550w SuperFlower p/s fail, just within the year warrantee from Directron. Not a complete failure, cuz it would start up & shut down the computer, but when it shut down, it wouldn't turn off the 12v rail (which kept the fans & lights on ALL the time!! ).
Since I recognized this behavior from a friend's Powmax POS p/s that failed, I called Directron. 5 minutes on the phone with a guy at customer service, as he checked the fact that I was within a year, and then he told me to go ahead and do the RMA, and they'd send me out a replacement.
I sent it in last week, and the replacement is due here tomorrow. Directron's always done me good, and I'd recommend them. Hopefully that SF power supply failure was a fluke, and the replacement is good to go.
