Seems like the PSU in my folks pc (used to be mine once upon a long time ago, except for the graphics card!) is dying, so I need a recommendation for a new one please.
The system isn't used for gaming, just office and internet/email and a bit of video chatting on MSN, and is quite old so doesn't need anything top of the range. Cheap'n'cheerful will do, although I've heard some mightmare stories about some makes like Q-Tec so don't really want to use one of them unless I've got no other choice.
Spec is :
cpu: Athlon 1Ghz
mobo: Abit KT7A-Raid
ram: 1x512Mb Crucial PC133
graphics: GeForce (yes, the original!)
sound: CS Soundblaster (the one before the Audigy range came out)
hdd: 1xMaxtor 40Gb
optical: Sony CDRW + NEC 4550 DVDRW
Nic: Netgear FA311
Kb+mouse: MS Wireless optical mouse + cheapy wired USB keyboard (off an old system from the purple store...)
All the other USB devices are connected via a mains powered Belkin USB hub (printer/scanner all-in-one, digital cameras etc.)
So what's the best not-too-expensive PSU for this then?
Cheers.
