350-450W Roundup - Suggestions

Hi, folks!

In a few weeks we will review cheap power supplies, 350-450W, 80Plus Bronze or worse. I would be pleased to test some products you are interested in. Feel free to suggest any PSU here, no matter which brand.

In fact I already bought some low-end units which are available in Europe since it is quite difficult for me to get cheap ones from US market. But probably you want to see some 80PLUS Standard PSUs from Corsair, Antec, FSP or whatsoever in this roundup. These brands are available in Germany so I can get samples without any problems:

If they don't provide the samples you suggest I can still buy them anywhere or buy similar stuff (some brands use the same manufacturer).

Thanks.
 
i'd like to see cougar supplies reviewed. they're making a big push here in the US
 
Bis die Funken fliegen wäre bestimmt interessant...

But seriously, while I tend to stick to quality brands for builds a few years ago I did build a PC with a nice Antec 300 but a totally cheap £8 Casecom 300W PSU (not really my choice but I didn't put my foot down). And guess what? That PSU has been running for 4+ years now and no problem (this guy only games on his Xbox though). In the same time, I've had two OCZ PSUs and a Corsair fail in rigs I built people with fairly similar specs and usage so...

That cheap £8 is still available from ebuyer.com and sorted by popularity they seem to sell lots of them:

So, any chance of including some of those 350W+ Casecoms? Can't find them in Germany though not via geizhals, preistrend or google shopping although planet3dnow.de did manage to review a 400W one.

Browsing some more UK eretailers by PSU sold popularity, I see a CIT 430W @ £19 and Sumvision 450W (£13). Any of which might be a suitable victim and you never know maybe one will survive...
 
Well the Casecom planet3dnow.de had didn't make it...

One thing you can try to including your roundup is a list of aliases since it seems the same PSU gets sold under different names in almost every country.

The other point of interest would be if there is any good PSU below the Corsair CX430 or Antec Basiq: in other words is there any £20 / €25 / $30 PSU which is actually any good?
