Hey, I don't blame Corsair (for example) for charging $90 retail for a 450W full modular SFX PSU: they have development and marketing costs to recoup, and the market comps from Silverstone sell in that price range. But until they lower the prices to within say $5-$10/unit of otherwise similarly-specced ATX PSUs, SFX will remain a niche market, rather than the disruptive force to the mainstream market that it ought to be, and the higher prices will be a "self-fulfilling prophecy" because they don't move as many units.
