My old system SMPS has finally given up after years of running and I am looking for a basic power supply to again make old system working. Dont need more then 350w...

Also, the case only support top mounted PSU so any can be fitted in or some specific ones ?

Please suggest.

Antec VP450P -2600.

I dont want to spend this much on old system which I am going to use very rarely. Just that it should be placed as junk I am changing the PSU. How are zebronics one if any one has used those ?

Ok, thanks...so does it mean any PSU can be used for either in top or in bottom, fan should be upwards when bottom mounted and should be downwards when top mounted.. ? There is absolutely no difference otherwise right...

in both cases, the fan should be facing downwards!

Hello Daemon,

You can look at the Cooler Master Thunder 450 as an option else you can also look at the Cooler Master Elite 350. For your usage and configuration you need not spend too much on high-end PSU.
