Cheapest PSU

Shadow Gamer

This thread is the incarnation of a quest to find the cheapest PSU out there. The specs and physical attributes don't matter, just the lowest price. This is not for me, nor anyone else, just for fun.

 

So, can anybody top this

We should find the cheapest possible power supplies so we can buy them all out and smash them to save tech-illiterate people from making the mistake. And then burn the factories.

Make this happen LTT!

I know its for fun, but I just get nervous ticks when thinking about buying a cheap PSU.......The last place in the world to attempt to save money.,

 

 

the cheapest I could find was "www.dabs.com/products/best-value-alpine-500w-psu-120mm-red-fan-2-x-sata--pfc--78ZN.html?src=3" at 11.98£

 

But it does have a red fan.
