So basicly I got home one day and my PC was turned off (which shouldn't be), and i could smell burning. my Hiper Type R 480W had died.... only been 1 year and a bit. Anyways I am on a budget of about 30 pounds including shipping.

I have spotted the following:

Arctic Power 500W PSU
Huntkey True 400W PSU or 350W (cheaper)
Antec Basiq Power 350W

I know there are plenty of generic ones out there, but I want to be able to leave my PC on 24/7 without it burning after a few months or even a year. So which one is the best choice? and if any other recommendation will be good.

Thanks

I was running:
A64 S939 3700+
maxtor 300gb (SATA)
Seagate 400gb (SATA)
Hitachi 80gb (SATA)
7800gt
1 stick of 1gb ram

The thing is, I only got 30 pounds... and no more so I can't really stretch any more than that.

Read a few reviews about these Huntkey's PSU, doesn't sound bad. But any one know if they are good for long term usage... like 24/7
