    A classic example of the disparity between what one wants and what one needs.

    Well, There is no dispute that I NEED a new PSU (See) But I also WANT one that has consistent power output. However, I can only AFFORD $120 at the most.

    That corsair is $114.99 after $10.00 Mail-In Rebate. You can't scrounge up anything in order to get it?

    I guess I can put it on a credit card for now. However, I do want to try to get my money back for the old one.

    UPDATE* Well, I broke down and bought it. I just hope that's ALL that's wrong with my pc.

    Yeah, I hope not, but even more I hope that the old one didn't take any of my other hardware with it.

    I've personally built over 30 PCs using the Corsairs (probably 20 of the 520's and 10 of the 620's- including my personal machines) with absolutely no indication of a PSU related problem, so I'm sure you'll be fine.
    It's my favorite low end PSU.

    When you first install it, leave everything unhooked save the motherboard and vid card (if required) and POST the PC.
    Assuming all goes well- we'll keep our fingers crossed for you- connect the HDD and rePOST.
    Then the opticals.

    Bon chance.
