Decent Cheap PSU?

TaKeN · 30 Oct 2011 at 18:13

As per title..

The Tagan 420w in my dads computer has died this afternoon. I'm looking for a cheap but not DEADLY Psu

Any ideas? I've been looking at the OcUK ones, but they're rather reviewless.

Depends how cheap is cheap, Although those words should never go together "PSU" & "Cheap"
I mean but here are a couple i found.

10/10 for functionality and value

Thanks chaps, that looks good for the money!

Ive built 3 computers with the Corsair PSU and couldnt recommend it more, unless your going for a gaming rig. My only gripe with it though, if its in a traditional case with the PSU on top, it gives a very low whine that gets annoying if the computer is silent.

CX430 is great value at an entry level price point. i wouldn't recommend anything less if you are buying new.

those <400W seasonic and Antec PSUs were great and priced well, but are becoming hard to find
