Actually, on this occassion, I agree.
At work, we have hundreds of PCs. I don't have knowledge of every part of every one, but I dare say that they (with very few exceptions) would have the cheapest PSU our supplier could get away with. We have a failure rate of between 1 and 5%. A fraction of those are power supply failures (in fact, more often that not, it's a memory or HDD failure).
