Phoenix Tech Surplus is solid, I've grabbed a few things from there. They actually let me test a power supply on the spot before I bought it which saved me from a dud. Check any used place that does a burn-in test for at least 24 hours before you commit, that usually weeds out the bad caps or noisy fans.
