Cali Fry's B&M Antec Truepower 430W $25 OTD

[akahai]

I found this in today's LA times ad.
Fry's is selling the Antec Truepower Trio 430W PSU (PLU#4968411) for $25. This is B&M only because I checked the website and it is $69 on the web. I think this is a pretty good price for someone that needs a good psu for low end PC.
Note: Looks like it is available in Nor Cal as well. Not sure about other places.

Check out newegg's link for pix and spec.

Good PSU for me so far. Using it to run my C2D and 8800GTS.

I picked up a couple spares myself. I have several Antec True Power's in my computers and they have been terrific. Thanks for the post OP.

I just put one in my HP box. 5 year warranty, looks like a solid PS.

I wish I lived near a Frys. I got mine at the egg for $40 +tax.

For $25, I'd pick up more.

How quiet are these? And are these overkill for a simple C2D/Q system with 1 or 2 hard drives and a 8800 series GPU, no overclocking, which quiet and coolness being the most important factors?)

 

[xmonger]

I can't hear mine over my GFX card, so to me it's quiet.

 

[esquared]

I have a 550 and a couple 430's and I can't hear them. I might not have the best hearing around but they are silent to me.

Looks good to me. If you want the quietest psu, this isn't the one to get.

I'm sorry for being so ignorant, but I know nothing about PSUs (like, what a "rail" is, for example). How would this PSU compare to this Antec E 380 for $30 shipped (plus tax) at NE? in terms of quitness and cooleness?

Actually, it's NOT an indication...your link references the EarthWatts line (which carries a 3 year warranty).

The TruePower and NeoPower lines (different OEM's) carry 5 year warranties, and are some of the best PSU's available.
