Looking to upgrade my PSU soon as my Atrix POS isn't coping so well.

I quite like the look of this one..

What do you guys think? I don't know a whole lot about PSU's myself.

Thanks

How much money are you willing to spend on a unit?

At the moment i have an Asus P5VDC-MX mobo and a pentium D 805 at 2920 mhz, when using PC probe i am noticing that the 12v is under 12v quite often. I've just brought a new case, see here http://tinyurl.com/kuyx3, for better ventilation and it has brought my temps down quite a lot. I'm looking for a better PSU and liked the look of the one I posted earlier.

I'm sort of going through an upgrade phase at the moment, i started with a 2.0Ghz emachines celeron, in a MATX case, so brought the Asus MX board to fit and 805 and new PSU, i brought the mobo as it supported AGP and also DDR and DDR2 which means i could still use my current GFX card and DDR Ram, But i've noticed this atrix PSU i brought doesn't seem to be all that good. So my next moves are to go to DDR2 ram, better PSU and a full size ATX board which will now fit in my case :)

Looking to spend around £60ish for a good unit.

Seems to be a good one? I'd like one with blue LED's to match my case.

you'd be better off with one from one of these companies listed on that website: OCZ Technology, Antec, Enermax, Seasonic. if you want the blue lights than choose from them. if you aren't bound by just that website then pick from these companies:

Top of the heap industrial grade:
Zippy/Emacs
Etasis (Silverstone 560w)
Win-Tact (high watt PC P&C)

Excellent:
Fortron-Source (also sold under Sparkle/SPI, Powertech, BFG, some PC P&C models, and Aopen among others)
Seasonic (Antec Neo HE, PC P&C Silencers)

Above Average:
Enhance (most Silverstone and Akasa units)
Channel Well (Antec, Meridian XClio, some Thermaltakes)
Topower (OCZ, Globalwin, BeQuiet, Athena Power, A+GBP, Tagan, some Vantec)
AcBel Polytech (Coolermaster)
Andyson Electronics (some Hiper models, AC Ryan)
Heroichi (HEC, Compucase, a few Thermaltakes)

Average:
Enermax
Superflower/TTGI/Fore Point/Fortrex
Wintech (Sintek, Ultras that aren't the first gen X-Connect)
Sirtec (most Thermaltakes)

That's all I can think of for now - hope that helps some.
