I am looking to build a new system soon and was wondering what you guys think of this psu. It seems to have some good reviews out there and on newegg. Also it seems like a great deal for $35 after MIR

I was going to go for the Antec Earthwatts 430 that was $40 after MIR, but it ended and this seems like an even better deal.
 
The lack of any combined wattage listing on either the official website and on the PSU itself and no UL number is a sign to me that it's not going to be a good quality PSU.

And I wouldn't put heavy reliance on reviews from newegg. A good majority of commentators/reviewers on newegg are a bit retarded and stupid when it comes to PCs IMO.

IIRC, the 600W version of that Extreme Power power supply was actually a 500W Seventeam, not a 600W PSU.

Also, you can get much better power supplies for around that price range:
Corsair 450VX 450W PSU - $77
Corsair 550VX 550W PSU - $98
