For the price, I say buy a whole ATX case and take the power supply from it.
Then
simply the keep the case as a spare. If you have a lot of time on your hands
gut the old P/S for the components.
Some of the ebay sellers use the shipping fee as a profit machine. I mean
they
will charge $10 s/h for a $1.00 item. Also USPS Priority mail for instance
is
one of the MOST economical ways to ship, under 10 bucks most of the time.
Great for getting semicondutors shipped. Good luck.

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
