    Hi
    I was just wondering about the PSU's on dabs that are insanely cheap, 700w for like €20. Do they work at all?

    Also whats with dabs changing their prices constantly, was gonna get a 600w crossair psu for 50 and it jumped up to like 70 :eek:

    I'd imagine it's something to do with pricing algorithms going awry. It'll normalise, you might just have to give it a day.

    RE PSUs: Stay away, stay away, stay away. I wounldn't trust them with anything more than 100-150W, and even then, only as a stop-gap for a week or two, at absolute most.

    I bought a "500W" PSU for €10 for running my pump outside of my case. That's the only type of thing I trust them to do all the time.

    if there is one thing, that you cant cheap out when building PC - its a PSU.

    if someone will say it differently - he/she is an idiot and needs to be shot in a face and newer let near any technology, even iphone.
