anyone heard anything good or bad about them? compgeeks has some cheap ones, but i dont want to buy something that is going to fry my hard drives.

Cheap power supplies tend to blow up and take your other stuff with them. Do yourself a favor and get an antec.

A quality 350W PSU should be fine for that system.
