A good cheap psu for repair purposes

[mrapoc]

Hey guys

Im after a good cheap psu which i can get a couple of for cheap as a standby when I have to replace customer's psus. Ya know, just like 400w better than oem/generic crap.

Something I can rely on for helping me diagnose stuff too

just how cheap is cheap in your eyes?

This should be fine: http://www.amazon.co.uk/OCZ-500W-Ste...8730982&sr=1-2

Also heres a review of the 600w model from there won't be much difference between this and the 500w model I have linked to

Let me kno if this is out of budget?

bit out of budget

its going to be literally on hand if one of those crappy oem psus die

[diablo170]

Then you could get a used quality psu of ebay?

Wish I could help but I've been on a bit of an unintentional PSU killing spree recently and managed to zap 4 units in the space of 2 weeks.

Something like these are solid units.

U gotta keep an eye on what connections u want on them tho.

This model for example has a 4 pin 12v connector and 2x 6 pin pcie. Whether u'd want to have 8pin 12v connectors and 2x 6+2 pin pcie will ofc rocket the price.

hmm, dont really know what exactly you want.

all those psu's always go cheap(dunno the quality etc)

[mrapoc]

rast's suggestion looks ok but a tiny bit more than what i was hoping to spend

as to what i want:

something to have on hand and be able to trust when repairing/diagnosing faults (eg. if this psu solves the problem and the problem exists with "broken" psu then it needs to be replaced)

simply, as cheap as possible but not going to pop in two years time
