I had one of these PSUs die about a week ago. It would have been 4 years old next month--it was my oldest one. It worked perfectly right up until it died, but I'm wondering.... I've got 2 more of these, are they too going to die at ~4 years old? They'll reach that age over the next 12-14 months.
Does anyone have one of these that's over 4 years old? What's a reasonable lifetime for one of these? and should I start looking at sales so that I've got a backup on hand for when another one dies in the relatively near future? I don't want to buy a PSU as a spare a year before I may need it, but I'd also rather buy one on sale at my convenience rather than paying the going price when the old one dies.
