Deal Details
I picked up some power supplies for my test bench area (i do some computer building work for my small business) for 55.99 at MC

The 1200w got completely trashed in the reviews but since these are office computers and not crazy expensive ones - i dont mind. A comparable one would be 100ish so I thought they were pretty good deals.

If they don't break fast, then these are Gold PSUs which are in the price category of Bronze or none 650w-700w PSUs. Seems pretty solid, but would advise to put in basic computers and nothing with a lot of stuff/wires or water cooled custom rigs as the reviews make it seem like you might have to replace it sooner rather than later. So an easy build will make it easier to replace lol

I've had a power spec in my main PC for a while now without issue. Bought one when PSU's were crazy expensive and harder to come by at a reasonable price... I have no complaints other than maybe a shortage of options on the power cable types supplied, check what's included to make sure your needs are covered.

Heck I have a CM Elite 460w, that's in the "Immediately Replace Tier", that's still going strong going on 17 years. That's less than a dollar a year...I got it for $15.

You only need to trust this https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/
Every brand is either good or bad depending on the model you pick.

Got 1 of the 2 available at my local MC. I usually ignore negative reviews (DOA or early failure seem to be the top comments) and try my luck, but sadly got a bad unit. One personal comment - the cables are ugly as shit. Will swap for another or might just end up going with another brand.
