Crappy PSU? [solved]
Mmmm... Cocks...

My neighbors came to me with a computer that wouldn't boot. So I dropped my PSU into it and BAM good to go.
So I'm left with the task of buying a new one, but since its an older computer, integrated graphics and what have you I clearly need a weaker/cheaper one but I know the horror stories of bargain buy PSUs.
So where is the sweet middle ground here?

the first step was taking the computer model and searching for 'model number' power supply replacement.
looking at the specs and then find something similar that wasn't a ripoff.
In general... check the pins.
go for about 400 watts
get them to spend about 40 bucks.
Thanks for the tips.
