Power Supply Where to get my hands on HDPLEX 250W or 300W models?

Anyone know where I could find the older models? First of all, I don't need 400W, and second of all the 400W is too big for my build (yes, the added 10 mm creates an issue).

Someone should really tell HDPLEX that they should stop making them any bigger. It would also be nice to see them offer the 300W alongside the 400W, because the 400W version really seem like a niche product.

I could be wrong but the 400W is replacing the 300W for the immediate future. Meaning the 300W, at least in the version that was produced before, is not coming back for a while, if ever.
You can find 300W units on the for sale/trade forum though

The size created an issue for me as well. It's larger in two dimensions actually, 10mm longer and 5mm thicker due to the heatsink. I would like it if they redesign and begin producing the 300W again. I really think that is the sweet spot for power on anything but systems with the most powerful discrete cards.

That's true in terms of wattage, but there were quite a few complaints about coil whine with the 300W and the 400W seems to fix that.

Thanks. But he only ships within USA. I live in Scandinavia.

However, I found another guy here on the forum, that happened to live in the same city as me, that was willing to sell his 300W when he gets his 400W.
