Wait, this is 'cheap' these days?

Last I bought a PSU, it was a 750 watt, at only $49.99 or so.

Sure it ended up having some issues after like 5 years of use, but hey, a smoker just kinda has to take that hit in the balls once in a while. I cleaned the board though and now it works again, yay!

I was shocked seeing $130 be considered "so cheap"

Compared against a 250€ be quiet! Dark Power 13 1000W ATX 3.0, it is.

I got my ASUS ROG 850W Platinum for 100 euros, two years ago. XPG is a pretty unknown to me so I'm shocked this is considered cheap.

Edit: had a check on my go to tech website and this unit used to be around 250. I guess it has some unique features or something.

That said, the CyberCore II has replaced it. This is the older model. I also see they run on 115V making them pretty useless in Europe.
