    I wanted to buy a new R4 PSU and was wondering what the going rate is and where is a good place to buy one. I assume someone has found the cheapest place for it. I picked up a spare battery on amazon for 75 bucks. Anyone get a better deal on a battery than that?

    870 watt? for the m17x R4?

    EDIT: i found a few on amazon using:

    m17x PSU
    m17x power supply
    dell 240 watt


    don't use R4 like i was using. That is why i didn't find jack. As of this new is 80 bucks and used is 40-50. Dell site is 120
