In need of a new cost efficient PSU

[UMfanatic]

My Mom's PSU is currently a Antec Smartpower SL350. I think it is going dead because when you power down her PC, it turns off but the the fans in the PSU still somewhat spin causing the case fans to inturn still spin plus the Blue LED lights on the PSU flicker. Any suggestions as to a cheap but reliable PSU

her PC specs are as follows

AMD 64 3200+
K8N Pro Mobo
1GB of Ram (will be upgrading to two efficiency)
ATI Radeon X1300 Pro AGP
160GB Seagate HDD
DVD Burner
CD Burner
WiFi

Antec Earthwatts 380 $35.

doesn't that have a 24pin connector though?

this motherboard only uses a 20pin connector

It's a 20+4 pin.

no, I do not need a new case just a new PSU the antec recommended seems to be really good so I am going with that now if I could only get someone to respond to my MoBo thread

I'd second the EA380 or 430 (not really much difference). Excellent, Seasonic made PSUs. Got a 380 in my system right now. Often possible to find new pulls on fleabay for a song. I've bought and sold plenty of them.
