24$ @ xoxide
now ive allready looked at xclio psus at newegg but would this one be good for overclocking my current rig
A64 3000+939
Asus a8s-x
2x512 corsair valueselect
sapphire x850xt pci-e
120gb ide pata seagate barricuda 120gb
1 optical drive
im gonna be ocing this cpu hardcore so will this psu be more than enough for this task please post ur replies soon i need to make a quick decision
for 25$ i dont expect this in any way to be able to handle any future builds and i can just leave it in this one
 
Just remember:

You get what you pay for. I recommend dropping more monies and getting something that will outlast this rig, and your next. Corsair HX 520 anyone?
 
well right but i honestly dont have the $$ to blow on that right now and no you dont always get what you pay for everything has its bang for buck ratio and 100$+ on a psu doesnt seem fit to a system with less than 300$ worth of components in it
can someone tell me if this psu at least looks solid or not the rails have decent amperage based on observation but i havent seen this psu brand anywhere in psu basic stickys in various different forums
 
True, sometimes you can find a good power supply for a fantastic price.

This is not one of those times.

On the other hand, the HX520 is probably overkill for that system. Try this one. It is a little more than the Sunbeam, but it has a much lower chance of blowing out and taking the rest of your system with it and it will provide more stable, quality power than that cheapo you were looking at.
 
yeah i would probably get the xclio goodpower before i got that but what i will most likely do is keep searching ebay and [H]ardforum for sale or trade threads to see if i can find one for cheaper than 50 maybe 35-40 would be nice
