How can you argue that $80 is ridiculously expensive when
most motherboards, CPUs, SCSI HDDs and decent video cards
cost far more? Not sure what it is with people these days
thinking a PSU is supposed to be cheap... if you want cheap
then buy all small/old/slow system components too, which
will use less power. If you reallly need > 400W PSU, $80 is
a reasonable price point.
