As above really, just wondering what the cheapest one is that is actually reliable?

Just trying to spec a second cheap PC. Will be building another E5200 setup with aftermarket cooler and clocking it up a bit and probably chucking it all in a Antec 300.

It is getting the old 8800GT and a single HDD and DVD Rom. It's very unlikely a newer graphics card or anything else will end up going in to the build in the next few years so I don't need huge amounts of leads.

Maybe its not even worth getting another modular and there is something else better?
 
If it has to be modular then hunt around for a Enermax Modu 82+ 425w. I have the Pro 82+ 385w running a E5200 system comprising of:-

E5200 @3.6Ghz
2x1Gb pc2 5300
ATI HD3850 512mb with Antec Vortexx Neo cooler
Creative Audigy 2ZS
Gigabyte P35 DS3R
Seagate 7200.10 320gb sata ll hdd
LG 22x sata dvdrw
Zalman ZM-MFC2 multi-function controller
4x 120mm Yate Loons

Idle power draw is 80w. Max load while running orthos and fur stability test at the same time is 205w. Gaming use is 158w. My non modular one cost me £36. The Modular 425w is £45-50. Super efficient (up to 90%) and very quiet.
 
Is there a non-modular one you reckon is good enough that OC sell? Only need to make sure it has the pin connector for 8800GT. I am gonna be making a big order from them so would be easier for me all in one.
