Temporary PSU replacement

My Corsair HX520 burned out this morning...still under warranty, but I don't have a spare PSU laying around, so I need a new temporary PSU that I can keep for a spare after my new Corsair arrives. How about these?

OCZ

Corsair 400

This will have to support (for a couple of weeks anyway) just a Core Duo (2160), 4 GB RAM, one Caviar Black HDD, one DVD Burner and a 8800GTS (or I might drop in my old 7600GT, if you think the 8800GTS is too much).

Does this look doable? Seems like decent units for a good price, esp the Corsair. If anyone has other options, please let me know ASAP. Thanks


 
Also looking hard at this one, which seems to be best bang for buck after the rebate...free shipping and savings...

PC Power and Cooling

Lotsa amps on 12V, 80+ certified, good name...any drawbacks? Similar to the Corsair, but only $7 more cuz of free shipping.
 
Assuming that you don't get fucked on the rebate, the PC P&C 500W PSU is a good choice.

Just don't get the OCZ PSU since the PSU platform it's based on is a bit suspect.
