That's right.  It's $95 including shipping.  I ordered one on Tuesday,
and got it on Friday, after being told it would take 2 weeks (that
doesn't happen too often, so it's worth mentioning).  The instructions
were excellent, and it took 10 minutes to install it (I admit that I have
modified my power supply before, so I knew what to look for).

I had one problem: The unit comes with 2 cable ties.  The instructions
don't say this, but you need to chain the two ties together to make
a strap long enough to get around the controller.

Now I have to figure out a way to silence the damned hard disk!

This is not the order number.  If you call them, they will give
you a toll-free number to order from.  Again, it is important to
know which type of power supply you have.
