Need a new PSU for my server... suggestions?

Hi guys, my media server wouldn't power up so I pulled the PSU out and found this(!)

Any suggestions for a new PSU? The server is usually left on all day, turned off over night and runs 8 SATA hard drives and an old PATA CD-ROM drive. I've got two 1 PATA to 2 SATA splitters and the burnt out single PATA to SATA.

Cheers,

Jed

I've tried it with another cable and it's powering up, so might have just blown the fuse. Anyway, forgot to mention, it's 380 Watts, should I be looking at replacing it with one that's more?

It's an Antec EA-380. Probably came with the case... I can't remember...

I went for one of these in the end, Seasonicv Focus Plus 550W. It seemed a good compromise between cost and performance. And plenty of SATA connectors
