FMI Power Supplies ???

Hi,

I am building a few servers with the following specs:

(2) P3 500 servers with the following (one is database server and one is coldfusion server)

384 Megs of Ram
(2) WD SE 80GB Drives w/8meg buffer
52x24x52 CDRW
Onboard vid
Onboard sound (not used)
Dual 10/100 Nics

(1) p2 400 (file Server)
512 megs of ram
(4) WD SE 120GB Drive w/8meg buffer
52x24x52 CDRW
8meg video card
no sound card
Three 10/100 Nics

Unfortunately, I have an 80watt and two 130 watt power supplies. I feel that quality 250 watt power supplies should be sufficient for all machines. I found at Compusa (i have a $100 gift card), 250Watt FMI Power supplies for $29.99. Is FMI any good?
 
Crap. Overpriced and underpowered. For 30 bucks shipped you can get 350W Allied PSUs which would kick the arse of even a 400W FMI. Or an Enermax 300W for 37 shipped which would beat down both of them. And Newegg drops the price a few bucks if you buy more than one.
