PSU advice.

[Messiah Khan]

Im after an ATX PSU for my storage server. Ideally under £50-£60 (I know its not a huge deal to work with, but im working on a budget here) I don't need any GPU connectors or any rubbish like that. All I need is a decent amount of molex connectors and good solid rails. Will be running P3 733mhz, onboard graphics, NIC and SATA controller and 8 SATA hardrives to start with, rising to 20 eventually. Any suggestions? What sort of load am I looking at with that lot?

Most seem to suggest corsair.

Good warranty and quality build. Their smallest (the 450 watt version) is within your budget:

the corsair PSU's are great and the warranty is a great bonus.

the ocz psu's are the best psu's for your price ive had a 600w one on a q6600 @3.6 witha gx2 and its been rock solid (wifes rig)

Whatever you do don't get the 500w OCZ.

Just won a 700w Tagan for £55. That should do the trick nicely me thinks.

What's wrong with it? Just curious.

That'll do just fine! Good price!

What model is it?

I have had the U22 2-force 580 watt version and am also presently using their 900 watt Piperock PSU. Both have been solid if a touch expensive.

U something I think. I've had a 480W and 600W Tagan U models and both have been spot on, so im quite happy with this one.
