Anyone get one of those Barbie computers that have recently been in Hot Deals?

If so, I have a few questions on the power supply.. what are its dimensions? Also, is it extremely low quality or ok?

I don't have one, but if you're looking for a small PSU they have 300w 1u rackmount sized PSUs on eBay for $58. 1u PSUs are a much better choice than those low-wattage Micro-ATX PSUs!

Well, 300 watts is kind of overkill for what I have in mind, and also it's a little long at over 7 inches for what I want to do :)

Barbie computers were made by Partiot Computers of Canada they went bankrupt due to the law suits over Barbie. The power supply would blow-up. I would take one if it was given to me .

this is sooo true they also had hotwheels computers too. they are soooooo junk. mind you if the price is right and all you want is a crappy little computer for your 5 yearold to play with then hey a deal is a deal

Well I've found that the price for the barebones system is sometimes cheaper than a mATX power supply.. but if it's mostly junk, I'd rather just get a mATX power supply by itself for my system. Wasn't going to actually use anything else.
