I get antec it works the best i use them in my computers I don t know how many watts you want but i will put the ones from 400 watts - 480 watts. I don t like the thermal take ones there kinda like the cheap ones but better like the one that died on you. Antec use votage senors to put out the right amount of power they also work 50,000 hours - 80,000 hours here are some links. They can bre run all the time.

oh yea, theres nothing wrong with leaving it on 24/7. I have some piece of crap 200 watt psu that is almost two years old and I usually always have my comp on 24/7.

I think it's finally dying though. sad.gif

This is my favorite. Yes, you can leave it on 24/7. I'm running these in all of my machines now.

Active PFC is the shiz, and this P/S's expected lifetime is 75,000 hours, or about 8 years.

Surprised no-one has mentioned Enermax. I've been running my 350w for close to two years now.

I think Ill go with the thermaltake one. People report some bad things about the antec ones, like grinding noises from the fans.
