You must not get on ebay very often. Anyone thats charges $25 for something
like that---dont last. In fact I dont think I've ever seen anyone even
attempt to charge that for anything other than a complete pc box. In fact I
just bought my last PC on ebay--2 of them now that I think of it----got the
daughter one also. Tiger directs shipping isnt even a ridiculous $12 for a
power supply--but they are slightly pricier than most for S+H. I also use
them quite often. For something like a PS I allways use pricewatch.com I
just checked and you can get a 550 watt super silent atx PS delivered for
$24. Similar item on ebay for $22 delivered
