Looks good to me, Fortron is supposedly pretty reliable. If you can wait watch the deals forum here and at anandtech, I got 2 Ultra 600w recently. One free after rebate and the other for $29 after rebate. So far they both work fine and both tested on the + side of the specs. I get pissed when you buy a good PSU for a $100 or more and the 12v rail reads 11.79. It is within specs so most companies won't RMA.

my rosewill stallion 500 gives 12.25-12.3 volts on both 12Volt rails full load and idle.
2.0 northwood celeron
x1300
p4m80-m4
2 DVD drives
2 IDE hard drives
1 floppy drive
and about 7 fans total in my case.
yeah i know its not a lot of power draw but the regulators seem to work well within specs.

I will do that. It seems I can wait a little while.

I don't know how, but this 250watt garbage PSU I pulled out of an old PII machine is chugging along for the time being.
