Good 250 - 300W 80+ PSU in black?!

[maverick02]

Hi All,

I am building a fairly low powered desktop:

i3-3225 ivy bridge
ASUS P8H77 (H77 chipset mAtx)
2 x ddr3
1 ssd
1 cd/dvd-rw
2 x 120mm fans

I think I can easily get away with a 250 - 300W PSU. I believe that this machine will probably idle at probably around 50W? And since this machine will be on 24/7, I would like to be in the 20 - 80% range of the supply load so I am at least 80% efficient. I can't seem to find a brand PSU though in this range - and I'd like one that is black to go with my mAtx case.

Plenty of room for an upgrade to any single connector card. and some dual connector cards with adapter

And 83% efficient at 10% load

Seasonic makes excellent supplies, but its a tad expensive. I was hoping to get something in the $30 range after rebate or something. I don't know if that is wishful thinking. It's ashame since I see a few good 500W - 600W PSUs that are in that price range after rebate, but the efficiency at ~50W would probably be terrible.

39.99 after rebate:
