Newegg has the hec HP585D 585W ATX12V Power Supply for $25 with free shipping. Although it is a cheap power supply, NewEgg user reviews are surprisingly positive. Includes power cord works too.

    Ah hec... Who actually makes this and are the any good? I've heard they're Orion built units, which aren't always the worst while other say they can be junk.
    I can't seem to locate the Teir'd PSU list for all manufactures, need to bookmark that.

    I'm sure this isn't going to hold 585W constant, although 450W, with acceptable rail tolerances, low ripple and decent over-protection etc; this could suffice if you realize its' limits.
    I'm never one to say go cheap on a PSU; however, I'd like our patrons to get a good overview if this worth it as a budget replacement on an aging system?

    I used to buy cheapy power-supplies like this, but after a few bad encounters with a few too many cheap power supplies, I won't consider any PSU without checking on hardforums.com for the quality of one. If it doesn't pass the purvey of the [H] squad, it's not a good buy for someone who loves their equipment.

    16 very poor reviews on NE. I agree that this is a cheap power supply.. But, With 223 positive reviews and 84% good reviews, Not bad, if you on a budget..

    On the 16 very poor reviews, NOT A SINGLE PERSON GOT THEIR MOTHERBORD FIRED!, THAT'S GOOD..
