What's going to be running on it?
Combined wattage and AMPs is what's important when picking a PSU. 400W can mean next to nothing if it doesn't provide good amounts of both.

I really dunno the details, all I know is:
1. Its a P-4 moded (approved, whatever) PSU.
2. Its 400W.
3. It costs 35$.
I'm gonna be running my main rig on it... the 1.33GHz Athlon... I can't O/C it b/c of low 5V line So I want a better PSU.

That's kind've why it's necessary to know the specs on it.
I've got a 300W Antec that has more AMPs and combined wattage than two P4 compatible PSUs I have. Bought the 400W for the same exact reason and my 5V ended up much worse than with the Antec so I stuck with it.
Quality is usually much better than quantity when getting a PSU with the newer boards that are plagued with the 5V problem.

I got one for £35 and it has a low 5V rail, but it has a long ATX lead so im oging to shorten it to make the 5v line stronger, does it have temp control and a picture of a frog on the side of it?
Just wondering as mine does!
