Bear in mind that a cheap PSU will always perform under the suggested wattage that it is advertised as, sometimes to quite a large extent. Always stick with a big name when buying a new PSU and you can't go wrong.
Hmm, looks like I need a 650w PSU minimum. I'm using a 480w Tagan Well its been going for nearly a year now and the temperature controlled fans inside it are nearly always on the lowest speed

Tagan's do seem to really do the job Rick, I've used a few in the past and they are solid little units.
I agree regarding modular PSU's as well, although admittedly I think they are all modular these days, it's hard to find one with the old fashioned "cables everywhere" approach.
Talking of Tagans, I've just realised what the free black gloves can be used for...
I'm just about to take out my twin carbs and strip them down....and I don't have any Swarfega
