Antec make better PSUs, so an Antec 350W PSU will usually be much better
than some generic crappy 350W PSU. I like Antec for cases as well.

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:
