So I come home from school and I'm delighted to see that my power supply just came in the mail. (CX430M)

 

When I open the box, there's a Nature Valley granola bar inside it... With a coupon.

 

I don't know about you, but newegg has got my 10/10.

 

Has this happened to any of you guys?

Ps. check the expiration date, it might be a trap! :D

Not as big a trap as that PSU...

Probably the reason why newegg was basically giving this PSU away, $25 with mail and rebates kappa

Clickbait title is clickbait.

Anyway, granola bars are delicious. Eat it, install the PSU and be happy. Or sad, because you bought a CX.
