I ordered a third one yesterday.

what can i say, its cheap and good quality. I cant be spending 80ish bucks on a PSU for my parents now...

 
Just placed an order for one of this thing today. been using an old enermax 250watts for a long time. just upgraded my rig (now A64 3000+, yay) so i guess it's time to up my PSU as well.
 
I have a Thermaltake Silent PurePower 420. It's in my always-on P3 FTP rig.

My main bells-and-whistles rig has a Seasonic Tornado 350.

The Thermaltake works well, but I don't like its two fans-- A bit loud. I'm going to switch out the P3 rig with another Seasonic Tornado the next chance I get.

The Seasonics are only about $20 more.
 
I recently got the Silent PurePower 420W for $35 at Newegg. It seems to work fine for me. This thing is as heavy as at least three of my old PowMax power supply. I don't think it's that loud, but then again I have a ThermalTake Volcano 9 that could block out a war outside my window. My System Rigs profile is linked in my sig.
 
I get 11.95V on the 12V which is good, runs my 3400+ claw and 6800 FINE. GOOD PSU. Most of these guys saying bad things dont even have it.
