I can't decide which PSU to get.

AX400-PN

ATX400-PA

I know forton is a pretty reliable brand and both of them come at a reasonable price.

Computer is fairly old so nothing too power hungry:

Abit IS7-E2
P4 2.53
DVD-ROM
DVD+-RW
CD-RW
2 7200RPM HD
GF4 Ti4200
3 Fans
SB Audigy

If theres something else thats decent in the 30-45 range then please recomend it.

Also is Dual 12v rails add any benefit?

I also prefer something that has a 24 pin connector so i can use it in the future, but this is not a really big deal for me.
 
Both are effectively 350w units - they will power that system, but I think I would suggest the AX450-PN at a minimum, and the AX500-A if planning to overclock.
 
Thermal Take 430W

Hows thermal take psu units?

I like the idea of having sleaves on the wires to make it nice and clean. Its not dual 12v rails, if that has any signifacance.

Seems to have gotten alot of good reviews.
