Quoted from flipperfingers:do these still die on a pretty random basis or can I expect a pretty long life going forward?
In my experience, it is really a crapshoot with PC power supplies. I've had cheap ones go out in months, sworn off them and bought expensive ones, only to have them go out in months. So now I just buy a middle of the road one that fits the bill and cross my fingers.
That being said, the one from Microcenter is kind of on the cheapo side, which means it will probably run forever.
