Corsair 520w is an option

Virtually silent, I can't hear mine. But you could certainly get away with a lower spec and cheaper one, if cost is a consideration

@ £70.49 inc VAT - a bit to much for me!! I should have said around the £30 mark!

For such a low budget I'd have to suggest the Winpower range.

The OCUK product is reasonable quality from what I've seen
