I know "cheap" and "decent" don't go together, but what about an Enlight 420 or Foxxcon 450 PSU for under $50?
Which one is better?
Any other cheap but good PSU recommendations??

Q-Tec 550W is pretty decent for its price. Dual fan and costs only 55$ here in Europe.

AOpen 400 watter is more than you need and it's cheap. it also has adjustable +3.3/+5/+12v rails.

get a sparkle, damn good and pretty cheap
I got the 450 Watt Foxconn/Allied from NewEgg. Nice long power cords, with numerous connections. Dual Fan with actually grill guards.
28A - +3.3V
50A - +5.0V
18A - +12.0V
TCO=439
I maintains the req voltages @ 5% which I want and the price was $41.00. I have since purchased 4 more and they all work perfectly.

49.99 and these i Believe have pots.. i know the 430w does for sure, but not to sure about the 350w.
but i think this is as good as ud get under 50 bones.
I will have the Foxxcon aka Allied 450W here in a few days & I'm told it has the pots. If so, it should make for a fine PSU :)

You can try TTGI they have some nice psu and the price is quite low. I have the 420W version and it rocks

I was going to order that one but wanted to spend as little as I could for a new PSU but still have some quality.
I have two Antcs right now. A 300 watt and a True Power 430.
My AMD system needs more then 300. It reboots under very high FSB's with a 300. I went with the Foxconn for 3 reasons.
1] 50A +5 line = 5 line very important on AMD setups.
2] Adjustable pots
3] Good price
For $46 shipped, not a bad deal. Plus Foxconn makes much different hardware for computers. On top of that it's from Newegg
so if it freaks out, they will take it back Jack :banana:

I know its not the cheapest PSU on the block, but my favorite is Antec. Antec True Power to be exact.
Q-Tec 450 or 550 watt are good, 550 watt costs about £30
Chieftec are good and overclock.co.uk are doing em for £23.44 (for a 360watt)
If you have a Chieftec Case, dont use the Q-Tec! I just got myself a new Chieftec Dragon Full Tower (of the blue variety) and my Q-tec 550 watt doesn't fit in properly!
Hope this helps,
