well xtreme gear stopped selling my tryed and true 425watt ps for $26 shipped. So whats a good cheap ps these days?

I purchased that XClio 450W PSU today from Newegg for $52. There's a thread with a link to a review somewhere on the first page. As for price, you get what you pay for. $26 will get you a cheap, generic PSU that will endanger the life of your components.

Other [H] members have traced the XClio's UL number back to channelwell/antec oem.

The 450w looks to be their best value

Yes, these are made by Channelwell & have several features that Antec doesn't have yet.
I personally tested both their 400W & 450W models & these are great little PSU's.
The 450W is good enough for anything short of a highend SLI rig.

Also check the FSP PSU's and the SuperFlower PSU's for less expensive but capable PSU's.
