there pumping out 700 watt psu's via trademe for 120 bucks

but they do come with 2 year RTB warranty, maybe worth a try?

Ask if there's a warranty for if it blows up the rest of your PC's components.
My old Radeon card got fried by a dodgy PSU, literally blackened around the power connector.

My dad had a PSU go bad before that dumped mains on the motherboard. Killed every card in the PC, the hard drive, floppy drive, keyboard/mouse and even the monitor. Popped a heap of the caps too so there was this thick acrid grey smoke hanging around over the motherboard... Lucky no-one got hurt really.

Gotta love it.

Was it one of the psu's that you can plug a monitor into?
Ooooold

Nope, high voltage on the motherboard through the supply rails to the video card and out through the vga connector.

Was an older PC though, I remember the motherboard having an AT connector on it.
