Okay, with postage my ebay bargain doesn't look quite so good, but I got
a new Antec PSU to replace my daughter's noisy no-name effort in her
Antec case* for a penny!
A system builder was selling two, having replaced them with something
beefier for his customer, with one auctioned on one night the other on
the next night. I missed the one on the first night being outbid (£10.50
being the closing price IIRC), but the following night all the
competition had been crushed! <cue evil cackle>
Postage cost me £7.99, but given the weight, prompt dispatch and good
packaging I wasn't too upset!

* ebuyer replaced a faulty Antec PSU that was sold with the case with
this cruddy effort when I returned it - shoulda checked when it came
back I guess but I trusted them to replace like with like.
