PSU recommendation

I belive fan has gone.
Can anoyone reccomend a decent replacment? Money is a little tight, so I require the cheapest one that will do the job.
I think 400w is enough (I have 2 IDE HD's, 1 IDE OD, P4, AGP 7600gt, Asus P4PE-Deluxe connected).
Thanks

Why not put a new fan in it ?

Cheapest thing I can think of, if your on a budget.

Welcome to the forums, it is certainly possible but perhaps not the best thing to do if you are at all unsure about the procedure since the caps can retain a lot of power for a very long time after being switched off.

As for buying a new PSU an Antec Earthwatts 380w or the OcUK Huntkey 450w ought to do.

Bit more money but I'd put in a strong recommendation for the Corsair 450w.

Thanks guys, I had a look inside the PSU and the fan is circular so I'm not sure a standard 80mm replacement would even fit.
So I'll get one of the 3 suggested
