For the specs you are showing, An Antec 350 will do fine i have installed about 50 Antec units and find them dependable. I think i saw one on newegg yesterday (a 430)not sure if it was Antec or Ultra

if you don't mind MIR, 20.99 after rebate

Look out for a Fortron or Sparkle PSU (~350W or ~400W)

They are cheap, but made with quality parts.

lately Antec has had issues with using lower quality caps than they have used in the past. I would go with a cheap forton has Ken said. Also check out my sticky here http://forums.legitreviews.com/viewtopic.php?t=7169. Any questions don't hesitate to email or PM me

I haven't heard about that, is it only a specific line of antec PSU's? Because i have over 50 systems and Servers running on Antec and have yet to have one fail. (knocking on wood):shock:

BTW........Sparkle is a division of Fortron (FSB)
