Yeah I am highly disappointed, the story they are giving me now is that HP is selling them to alinc for $153...so apparently they are ok w/ taking a loss which just seems fishy to me. I have moved along and started down the resellers list.
Whew, exhausted the resellers list, most seem to be right abt $130 for the pwr supply unit, probably just HP playing w/ my heart and being bullies now that they are being flooded w/ calls/lookups in their resellers systems. I have reach out to jameco electronics to see if they can source/make a custom pwr supply, let's see what happens from here otherwise I am sitting on this switch for a bit. Guess $97.50 isn't looking too bad now lol.
Did I ever tell ya'll I'm thrifty/stubborn? hah, biting me in the arse now.
