Yea, you get what you pay for... I’m like’n this OCZ ModXStream Pro 500W Modular = $40 after rebate $20 and Code EMCJHJB42 -$10. Active PFC, 80+ (they claim 86% Efficiency) , 135mm OCZ PowerWhisper load controlled fan (not Temp controlled) and I believe is a Globe Fan with ball bearings, 1x 6-Pin, 1x 6+2-Pin, and Modular. http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?11787-Power-whisper-load-or-temp
Hard to predict what new deals will come up for PSU, this is significantly better than a $20 generic, but Coolermaster's low end units seem to only last about 2 years of continuous use.

Sometimes it's nice to have a cheap PSU around for trouble shooting. This would work well for that purpose or while you're RMAing a PSU.
