I have the 520w. My 12v and 3.3v are perfect 11.98 and 3.31. My 5v is a little low 4.87 but it's rock stable and that's what really matters.
 
I got a Vantec "stealth" 420W PSU.
According to MBM:

+3.3 at: 3.33~3.38

+5.00 at: 4.92~4.95

+12.00 at: 11.13~11.31

My volts fluctuate. Am I happy with this PSU? Hell no. On top of that, it is way too loud. :(

The PSU is powering the following:
4 80mm case fans.
1 HDD
1 CD/RW
1 DVD
1 FDD
1 Radeon 9700 Pro
P4 2.66 CPU with 80mm fan
 
voltages fluctuate, if they fluctuate out of spec, then its a botched psu. for some reason i ordered mine right when they came out and my lines dont move at all. powers 2 hdd's, floppy, cdrw, dvd, baybus (5 fans and 2 cold cathodes), radeon 9700, might be that my sr7-8x doesnt suck up a lot of power, guess thats the only positive thing about it. :)
