I think those are built by Channel Well, and like the older Antec True Powers, likely filled with the deadly Fujhhyu caps.

Certainly nowhere near as good as your corsair.

So basically not worth it for $50, even if only running a lower-end system. Ok.

I didn't say that. As long as the PSU isn't going to be used in an overly warm environment and the case is well ventilated, there shouldn't be any problems.

I think the 460w Xclio Stablepower is built by Enhance and can be had for about the same price, if you're really wanting an Xclio.

It's more the thought that it can be had for half-off when bought with an XClio Windtunnel. The most I'd be running is my E2140, the HD3850, and perhaps a few more hard drives (WCG & F@H). I still have a The1rmaltake Purepower 500W'er which is fine, though that's sitting in my closet right now since there's no machine to put it in. Odds are I'll be getting rid of it in the next week though--a classmate of mine and a professor of mine are likely going to bring in their desktops for me to take a look at. One of them is having a problem with her USB ports--so it's likely a bad board or Windows is screwed up with the drivers. The other sounds like a bad graphics card--he can't get any image to the monitor after having tried two different monitors. I have a good amount of parts that can be swapped in or out as necessary for a "recent" computer, so I'll find the problems for both and probably fix em up. I'm just looking for a deal.

By the way--for me, airflow is hardly a concern. I have two chassis, one (the 188A) with a 25CM side fan and the other (the Propeller) with a 36CM side fan. I doubt I'll get it, but it's just a thought if I'm recommending a build.

Yeah. Their GoodPower series is the one MrWicked is thinking about.
