Yes, but let's be a bit fair here! We're talking $29.99 after MIR of $35 here! I can personally vouch for it's quality and performance as I've had it about 2 1/2 years thru two platforms and it works flawlessly. It even recently saved my computer from damage when I plugged in a "Generic" optical mouse that had a serious electrical problem. The computer wouldn't even boot up at stock speed until I removed the mouse! Recovery was to re-set the cpu and memory speeds to manual, and it came right up just like it always does! I buy them 6 at a time from Newegg, and use them in all my customer builds. I've never had a problem or a complaint, yet!
Very good PSU, at a fantastic price!

30 bucks without any rebates needed. $10 shipping, but hey.
I don't use anything less than 500w PSUs. I buy them at a good price from newegg, and if one of my customer's wants to upgrade or add something, they have enough power to handle it! I overbuild everything! I also plan on them lasting 5 years or more, running at least 24/5, and some 24/7. I could make more money using cheaper components, but That's my "JRSystems" label on the front! LOL!!

One runs my server fine, which draws as much power as any gaming PC normally does.

No they don't! It's 75%! A number of my customers upgrade the video and memory over time, usually when one comes home permanently!
No offense to anyone, but this is supposed to be a thread for bargains, not discussions. The only question that needs to be answered here is, "is it a good deal"? At $29.99, this a great deal! Who cares about all the other junk, it doesn't belong here. Comparing it to another PSU at the same price and specs, I could understand. There's lots of PSUs out there that have better specs, but not for that price, at the moment!
Respectfully,
Russ

Which is what I've done. Similar price, but no rebates involved, and the unit is just as capable. Also, 75% is poor. 80-82% is common, 85 what needs to be aimed for.

My 30 dollar rebates for my Asus 4850 came in. This was a launch card and I paid 160 for it also. Although it had that crappy stock cooler.

A number of people claim that it runs cooler than any other HD-4850-512! I just like the 4 heatpipes (6mm), vs the two heatpipes (5mm) of the GigaByte. Throw in the general consensus, that it's quiet, and I'm sold on the MSI!

Indeed.
8600GTS is what, 70-80% faster than 7600GT?
HD3870 was 100% faster than 8800GTS, and HD4850 is 80% faster than HD3870. So that's about 6 times by my calcs, ouch...

Actually if you max out Crysis even the HD3870 and 8800GTS 320MB get 0fps, as they don't have enough memory to render the game at all.

Ah, different story then. :)
I played Crysis at 2560x1600 on my X1900XT... I genuinely did, but shadows and shaders were both low and I got frame rates in the high teens, low 20s... lol

the 8800GTS you mention is not a G92 card. Those are the ones with the odd-ball memory size 320MB/640MB. The HD-4850-512M is a much better card than the 8800GTS, 8800G92/GTS or the HD-3870! It also blows away the 9800GTX that's supposed to compete with it. By God, I think I've sold myself! LOL!!
