try OCZ, BFG, Antec, or Seasonic, they tend to have solid units for a decent price

so is it better for me to buy a non-modular 500w corsair for £50 than to buy a modular 500w icute for £40

non mod from corsair is the safer bet, but then again, there are known lemons for corsair as well, icute sounds like a gimmicky OEM crap brand, esp with that name....

it won't cost less when the icute dies on you in 10 months and you need to replace it

look, multiple people says corsair, don't blame us if you get the icute and it dies and takes a couple of things with it, you mauy never have trouble with it if you never load the thing with high power use components and would last for years, or it can burn your whole system because it is a crappy psu.
