I'm considering buying a used RM850x power supply that's listed as 'like new' on B&H for $100. It doesn't seem to be refurbished or anything. Do you think it's worth going for?

Personally, I think buying a used PSU is a gamble. If something goes wrong, you could end up frying your motherboard and other components. Better to buy new or at least a known brand you can trust. If you have a spare PC to test it out, you could take a chance, but I’d be cautious.
That makes sense, but since it’s just an open box, doesn’t it come with some assurance, especially if it’s sold by B&H?
