This is 16 USD.U can have a 750W PSU with surge protection for about 100USD.
Whats worth is up to you.BTW there are 500W ones for about 50-60.
For example I bought my one a year back with 2 year warrenty for 5500LKR.
Its 500W and have Surge,AVR etc,etc..Its 55 USD.I dont think for 16 USD u want this.U can make that for about 200 rs here.

Those Rs.5000 PSUs are by no means the best out there. A good one always goes for US$100 or more in USA. Unimaginable in Sri Lanka :D

You sounded like it was the best. :D

Anyway, only those highend video cards need this kind of units. Even though the new 8600GTS has an external power connector, the measured power is around 50W, which can be supplied quite easily through PCI-E slot.
