Hi,

I live in a "backwater" area and when I needed a power supply for my 
computer they had cheap ones *only*. In this area it was all they could 
sell. I learned more about computer supplies than I ever wanted to know. 
I mail ordered a better power supply and used the el cheapo to learn how 
to quiet the danged things down. It's a better neighbor to the radios 
now. If my time is worth anything the higher priced supply is a better 
bargain than the cheap junk one and then fixing it up. With the modest 
price difference I made about 2 cents per hour doing all of that!

73,
