Default Ultra X-Connect 500W PSU - $19.95!!!!!!

Just saw this last night as I was browsing!!!

*** SPECIAL ***Ultra X-Connect 500W ATX PS w/2 80mm Fans - Black w/UV Green

It's normally $149.95, they have a $90 instant savings on it making it $59.95, and then a $40 mail in rebate.

That's just insane.

The only system I have that uses a 20pin is my ancient P4 1.8 that I use for folding and a backup, and this would be WAY overkill for it, but man, for that cheap, I may just order one anyway.


Thought someone else here might be interested in this amazing deal.

My cousin ordered two of them back when they had the $30 MIR (about 4 months ago) on Xoxide, one for his gaming computer and one for his server, and he hasn't gotten either MIR back. I was going to get one before he "yelled" at me for "supporting them."

Pretty funny actualy. Just don't count on getting the MIR.

But seriously, the X-Connect is not that bad. Everything else Ultra makes besides their cases are bad though...
