Hiper PSU - any good?

I have been offered one of these and as Ive never used a Hiper power supply before wanted to check what the general opinion is.. Seller is asking £60.00

Hiper 580W Type-R Modular PSU SLI

They've had a bad rep of late, you can get a better PSU for £60.00 anyway.

They appear to be well known for blowing up........

many thanks.. I'll steer clear.

For a start the Type-R Modular's aren't worth £60.. £40 maybe.

I bought mine about 2 or 3 years ago for £56 or so brand new.

But you can get a better PSU than a Hiper for £60 mate.

Build quality is rather shoddy, and they've been prone to blowing up lately.
