This looks like a great deal to me. PCP&C is the one everyone raves about being the best but ungodly expensive. 15$ for a 200watt 1u. Perfect for say briefcase PC mods and similar stuff. Puts out 100watt on 3.3 and 5v. Should be plenty for a non-overclocked system. (Maybe not a recent intel... and MAYBE not a 9700 or 9800 or something like that.)

Excellent deal, looks like its 20 pin, buy two, splice them together and make your own redundant PC Power and Cooling PSU/ The PC Poer and cooling 800 watt redundant costs $499

You could make one yourself for $60 with this deal :eek:

8.39 is the height of the $499 version and it would be about 7 inches with 4 of these....:)

I'm not very knowledgeable about electronics. So If I just spliced 4 psu's together it would simply draw aproximately 1/4 of the power from each PSU? Would there be any risks or drawbacks?

This looks like it would also make an excellent prommy PSU as well. I might pick one up for $15 just for that purpose! Nice find.


:cool:

Ahhhh that thing looks like its cooled by a delta 60mm fan. Those things are so loud.

[Lithan]

It's a 40mm fan I believe.

I wouldnt think you could pull off the redundant power supply just by splicing the like wires together... I could be wrong. The most you could do is splice the green wire from one atx to the other so they started at the same time.. then hook different devices up to seperate psus.. for example put the motherboard on one dedicated psu and the harddrives/video on another.

Your right, the only way to make it be P4 ready is to cannabolize a cheap PSU and use the wiring, but with a little work and a multimeter it is feasible.

Also nice for running an 80watt TEC.
