Ok so I just went to my local OfficeMax, and they have Antec 350W PSU for $19.99 after instant rebate.... minus $10 off coupon floating around there, came to $9.99.

Also the 500W Antec for $39.99 after instant rebate. Will come to $29.99 after 10$ off coupon.

I just picked up the 350W one for basically $11 after tax with that $10 off $20 or more coupon thats out there.

Catch is this, i just looked in the weekly add and it does not show as being on sale. Also checked online and it only shows the 350W as being $39.99 as regular price...so this might just be a local store thing. But I'd say it's definately worth checking out.

The Basiq are made by Fortron, so they should be reasonable. Fine print: Don't blame me if your computer explodes or files for legal separation. Yada yada.

Also, with the 350w being 19.99 you need to find a product that costs $.01 unless you find a manager willing to override.

I was checking into this deal more, and it probably isn't valid. The coupon specifically states it isn't good for computers - don't know if that covers computer parts/accessories or just whole systems. Also, it was not advertised, meaning it may have been a manager's special that someone came across.

My other post on the CompUSA sale was definately legit as it was advertised and available in-store as well as on their site. However, the sale ended on 8/11.
