You won't be saying that the first time the PS fails ungracefully and wipes out
your entire system.


My first power supply failure happened like that. I guess it was in
1993. Took the motherboard and the hard drive so I know what you mean.
Still, I do what I do for a reason. I have spent way too much and sen
bad things happen, too. Price is not the telling factor.


When you're talking about $10 power supplies, I assume you talking about
the ones that come free with a $25 case and weigh about 1/5th as much
as a quality supply. I wouldn't use one of those crap supplies
if you paid me $200.


No, no. I know what you mean, though. The ones I buy are replacements
for those.
