I'm looking to get a couple new power supplies for use in my older PCs that i am building, I currently have a bequiet 630w unit that i used to have in my main PC before upgrading everything which i am able to use, but i need a couple other units to use.

The systems that i know the specs of are:

My second pc which has an i7 920 and a 290x in it.

My Windows 98 system with a P3 667 currently, 2 voodoo 2s and a geforce 256 DDR ( I know this won't be a very large power requirement). So at least one unit needs to be 20+4pin for this, floppy power would be a bonus, but i have an adapter to use if i need to

And i have my XP machine which I'm currently still unsure of what the specs will be, but I'm sure it will be less power than my second pc

I'm a little bit out of date since i last looked into power supplies so i may need a bit of help, i know units from superflower and evga tend to be pretty good, but there's also a bit of a premium on them.
 
Yeah that makes sense, i just wanted to see what some of the better quality units would be to get as id rather get something to last me especially on the p3 system since I've spent probably more than i should've on that one, haha

I was considering this one, but I'm not entirely sure how good cougar's power supplies are

I was also looking at the sff Corsair unit as i would like to be able to do an itx build in the future but this may not be worth spending so much on basically spare systems
 
Managed to get one of the 350W gold superflower psus from the B grade section for £30 :) I'm still going to look around for another power supply to use with one of my systems, probably going to get an sfx-l unit or sfx for the reasons I mentioned before
